Last updated: July 2026 dataCôte d'Ivoire dominates US cocoa bean supply under heading 180100, reflecting that country's position as the world's largest cocoa producer; Ecuador and the Dominican Republic are significant secondary sources, with the latter supplying a disproportionate share of certified-organic beans (1801000010) sought by specialty chocolate makers. Raw and roasted beans are classified together here, but the roasting step is a critical processing distinction for chocolate manufacturers managing flavor development and food-safety compliance. FDA regulates imported cocoa beans as a food commodity, and USDA APHIS may impose phytosanitary requirements to prevent introduction of cocoa pests such as the cocoa pod borer.

USDA APHIS requires a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country's national plant protection organization for cocoa bean shipments, certifying that the beans are free from regulated pests and diseases. Shipments may be subject to inspection at the port of entry, and APHIS can order treatment or re-export if prohibited pests are detected. Importers should verify current APHIS import requirements before contracting, as pest interception history from specific origins can trigger additional scrutiny. Consulting a licensed customs broker or APHIS-registered agent is recommended.
Organic cocoa beans are classified under 1801000010, while non-organic beans fall under 1801000090. To support the organic line, importers must present a valid USDA National Organic Program (NOP) certificate issued by an accredited certifying agent, covering both the farm and any handling operations in the supply chain. Without that documentation, CBP will classify the goods as non-organic regardless of the seller's claims.
