Import Tips

Submit sieve test results (95% through 1.25mm) to CBP to confirm classification as meal/powder vs. whole germ (1104)

Certify no roasting or coffee-substitute processing, excluded to headings 0901/2101 per Chapter 11 notes

Use ISF filings early; high-volume shipments from Ecuador/Colombia trigger agricultural inspections
