Import Tips
• Obtain a certificate of analysis verifying decaffeination process and caffeine content below 0.1% to confirm classification
• Label packages clearly with 'decaffeinated' and origin to avoid reclassification; include lab test results in documentation
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as roasted, which shifts to 0901.21; check for husks/skins contamination
