Import Tips

Include Fair Trade certification but note it doesn't affect HTS classification—focus on decaf and roast status

Label net weight accurately; importers often overlook that container size is net coffee weight

Test for decaf compliance; residual caffeine >0.1% may reclassify as regular coffee
