Heading 0901 — Coffee, whether or not roasted or decaffeinated; husks and skins; coffee substitutes containing coffee in any proportion
Chapter 09: Coffee, tea, mate and spices
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 090122 when importing or exporting roasted, decaffeinated coffee. This code specifically covers coffee that has undergone the decaffeination process, making it suitable for consumers looking for a caffeine-free option. For example, a shipment of decaffeinated ground coffee in 500g bags would fall under this classification.
This HS-6 line narrows down the broader category of coffee, which includes both roasted and unroasted varieties. In contrast, HS-6 090111 applies to roasted coffee that is not decaffeinated, meaning if your product contains caffeine, you should use that code instead.
Roasted, decaffeinated coffee can come in various forms, such as whole beans, ground coffee, or instant coffee. It’s important to ensure that the product is labeled accurately to avoid misclassification. If your shipment includes decaffeinated coffee blends, it still falls under this line as long as the coffee is roasted.
When considering packaging, decaffeinated coffee may be sold in vacuum-sealed bags, tins, or even single-serve pods. Each format should be clearly labeled to indicate the decaffeination process, which can help in customs clearance.
