What HS 0901.22 covers
This HS code encompasses coffee beans that have been both decaffeinated and roasted, offering a ready-to-brew product for consumers who prefer to avoid caffeine. This category represents a niche but growing segment of the global coffee market, driven by health consciousness and dietary preferences. The decaffeination process typically occurs before roasting, either in the country of origin or in specialized processing centers, after which the beans are roasted to develop their flavor profile. Importers are primarily developed countries with a strong demand for decaffeinated options, including the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom, where it is sold through retail channels. Exporters include countries with advanced coffee processing industries, whether they are coffee producers (e.g., Brazil, Colombia) or major coffee brands that source green decaffeinated beans globally (e.g., Italy, Switzerland). Trade considerations focus on the quality of the decaffeination and roasting processes, packaging to preserve freshness, brand marketing, and adherence to strict food safety and labeling regulations for finished consumer goods.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
