Need the HS code 0903 rules for mate, also called yerba mate? Here is what fits, what does not, and where to look at real trade records.
Heading 0903does not subdivide further in the WCO nomenclature: goods answering to “Mate” classify at the single six-digit code 090300. The heading is number 3 of 10 in Chapter 09, Coffee, tea, mate and spices, which runs to 39 six-digit codes in all.

What heading 0903 covers
Customs offices use the Harmonized System, or HS, to give every traded product a code. The World Customs Organization keeps the list, called the WCO nomenclature. Yerba mate and mate are two names for the same goods, and both belong here.
Tariff classification means matching your goods to the right code. It shapes your customs papers. It also decides which trade records you find when you search.
Many countries add extra digits after 090300 for their own tariffs. Traders in India call the longer number an HSN code. Check your national tariff for the exact ending before you file.
What is the difference between HS 0902 tea and 0903 mate?
People mix up mate and tea because both are used for hot drinks. The HS keeps them apart, so you should too. Here is a quick guide:
- Mate goes under 0903.
- Tea goes under 0902.
- Coffee, its husks and skins, and coffee substitutes containing coffee go under 0901.
- Pepper and dried chilli-type fruits go under 0904.
- Other spices, such as vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, seeds, ginger, saffron and turmeric, sit in 0905 to 0910.
Not sure your product is mate? Check first
A wrong code can slow your goods at the border. It can also send you to the wrong data when you research a market. This matters most for blends, where the main ingredient is not obvious.
The HS code classifier lets you test a product description against the tariff. Read the heading text, compare it with your goods, and only then search for records. If your goods fit another heading better, go to that heading page instead.
