Green Coffee Beans, Not Roasted, Decaffeinated

Decaffeinated unroasted coffee occupies a narrower but commercially distinct niche: the caffeine-removal process — whether solvent-based, water-process, or supercritical CO₂ — typically occurs at origin or in a third country before export, which shapes the supplier geography. Brazil and Colombia lead US supply, but Germany and Vietnam also appear among the top five sources, reflecting the role of European and Asian processing hubs that decaffeinate beans sourced elsewhere before re-exporting. The US schedule separates organic from non-organic lots and Arabica from Robusta across lines such as 0901120020 and 0901120035, making both species identity and organic certification critical classification inputs. FDA review applies at entry, and organic-certified shipments require NOP documentation.
