Last updated: April 2026 dataGreen (unroasted) coffee beans are a high-volume agricultural import that enters the US without roasting or significant processing, preserving the origin character that specialty roasters and commodity blenders both depend on. FDA has oversight authority for imported green coffee as a food commodity, and shipments may be subject to detention if prior violation history exists for a shipper or origin. The US is the world's largest single-country importer of green coffee, sourcing from a geographically diverse set of origins across Latin America, Africa, and Asia-Pacific, which gives roasters meaningful flexibility in managing supply-chain and quality risk.

Green coffee is regulated as a food by FDA, which may examine or sample shipments, particularly from establishments with prior import alerts. There is no routine USDA FSIS involvement since coffee is not a meat or poultry product. Importers should ensure their foreign suppliers are registered with FDA under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and that prior notice is filed before arrival. Admissibility questions are best reviewed with a licensed customs broker or regulatory counsel.
The US has no mandatory federal green coffee grading standard equivalent to grain inspection. Trade quality is governed by private contract terms, often referencing standards set by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) for specialty grades or the Green Coffee Association (GCA) for commodity grades. Defect counts, moisture content, and screen size are the primary specification parameters negotiated between buyers and exporters.
