U.S. imports of roasted coffee, decaffeinated (HS 090122) totaled $7.9M in May 2026, traded with 35 countries.
Last updated: May 2026 dataDecaffeination processing — whether by solvent, water, or CO₂ method — is the defining characteristic that separates this heading from its caffeinated counterpart, and the distinction must be documented at entry for FDA review. The US tariff lines under 090122 mirror the caffeinated structure, splitting by species (Arabica at 0901220040 and 0901220065; Robusta at 0901220050 and 0901220080), organic certification, and retail packaging thresholds. Switzerland and Canada lead import supply, with Colombia — a major green-bean origin — also appearing among the top sources, suggesting some vertically integrated supply chains that roast and decaffeinate closer to origin.

For HTS classification purposes, the method of decaffeination does not change the tariff line — all roasted decaffeinated coffee falls under heading 090122 regardless of process. However, FDA may scrutinize solvent-based processes (e.g., methylene chloride) for residue compliance under food additive regulations, so the process method is a regulatory admissibility concern even if it is classification-neutral.
To enter under an organic-designated line such as 0901220035 or 0901220065, the shipment must be accompanied by a USDA National Organic Program (NOP) import certificate issued by an NOP-accredited certifier. The certificate must cover both the decaffeination process and the roasting operation if they occur at separate facilities. Customs brokers should verify that the certificate scope matches the specific processing steps performed abroad.
