Import Tips
• Obtain a certificate of analysis confirming decaffeination levels (minimum 97% caffeine removal) and varietal purity to avoid reclassification
• Provide detailed origin documentation as statistical suffixes apply; 'Other' covers non-specified Robusta sources
• Ensure beans are free of husks/skins to prevent misclassification under 0901.11 or coffee by-products
