U.S. imports of green coffee, not roasted, decaffeinated (HS 090112) totaled $52.9M in July 2026, traded with 35 countries.
Last updated: July 2026 dataDecaffeinated green coffee occupies a distinct classification from its non-decaffeinated counterpart, reflecting the additional processing step — typically using solvent, water, or supercritical CO₂ extraction — that removes caffeine before roasting. Brazil leads US imports of this product, followed by Colombia and Mexico, with Germany notable as a non-origin re-export hub for European-processed decaf green beans. The US schedule mirrors the non-decaffeinated structure with nine 10-digit lines separating organic from conventional and Arabica from Robusta, so the same species and certification documentation requirements apply. FDA prior notice is required, and importers should be aware that the decaffeination solvent used (particularly methylene chloride) is subject to FDA residue limits that can affect admissibility.

The decaffeination method does not change the HTS classification — all unroasted decaffeinated coffee classifies under heading 0901.12 regardless of process. However, FDA admissibility is affected: methylene chloride (a solvent used in some decaffeination processes) has a strict FDA residue tolerance in finished coffee, and shipments may be subject to examination or sampling. Importers sourcing solvent-processed decaf should request residue test data from suppliers and be prepared to provide it to FDA upon request.
Germany is home to major industrial decaffeination facilities that process green coffee sourced from origin countries and re-export the decaffeinated beans globally. For HTS and country-of-origin purposes, the country of substantial transformation — where the decaffeination processing occurs — may determine the declared origin, though this analysis depends on the specific facts. Importers should work with a customs broker to confirm the correct origin declaration when sourcing from processing intermediaries.
