Last updated: April 2026 dataFermentation level is the key classification driver here: black tea that has undergone full oxidation and partly fermented teas (such as oolong) that fall outside the green-tea heading both land in this SITC category, whether or not flavoring agents have been added. FDA regulates imported tea as a food product, and shipments may be subject to port-of-entry examination for pesticide residues, filth, and labeling compliance. Blended or flavored varieties require careful ingredient documentation to confirm the tea basis remains the primary component for classification purposes.

FDA may detain shipments for examination under its automatic detention authority if a supplier has a history of pesticide or filth violations. Importers should ensure each shipment is accompanied by accurate ingredient and origin documentation, and prior notice must be filed for all food shipments.
Flavored black tea remains classifiable here provided the tea itself is the essential character of the product. However, if a preparation's basis shifts to extracts or concentrates rather than leaf tea, it may fall instead under the extracts and concentrates heading. Consult a licensed customs broker to confirm classification for blended or heavily flavored products.
