Coffee, roasted, decaffeinated.
Classification of roasted decaf coffee under HS 0901.22
Roasted decaffeinated coffee is classified under HS code 0901.22. This classification follows the structure of Heading 0901, which covers coffee products in various forms. The specific subheading 0901.22 is reserved for coffee that has undergone two distinct processes: decaffeination and roasting. Decaffeination involves the removal of caffeine from the green beans, typically using water, solvents, or carbon dioxide, while roasting involves thermal processing to develop flavor. The Harmonized System requires specific identification of decaffeinated products to facilitate monitoring of caffeine trade and to apply relevant food safety standards. Whether the coffee is in whole bean form or ground into a powder, it remains under this code as long as it is roasted and decaffeinated. This classification is vital for importers to ensure compliance with labeling laws and to apply the correct duty rates, which may differ from caffeinated coffee in certain jurisdictions.

Codes often confused with 0901.22
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is using HS code 0901.21, which is for roasted coffee that still contains caffeine. Another error is using 0901.12, which is for decaffeinated coffee that has not yet been roasted (green decaf). It is also important to distinguish this from decaffeinated instant coffee, which falls under 2101.11.

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).
