Import Tips
• Obtain Swiss Water Process certification to prove solvent-free decaffeination for marketing and compliance
• Label with processing details as FDA requires disclosure of decaf methods on eventual packaging
• Monitor green bean density to ensure uniform decaf processing; rejects can cause duty disputes
