Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not certified organic
Non-organic cocoa beans, even if whole or broken and raw/roasted, classify under the general 1801.00.00 subheading without organic specification.
If processed into cocoa powder
Once ground into powder, regardless of organic status, beans shift to Chapter 18 heading 1805 for cocoa powder preparations.
If roasted and dehulled like coffee substitutes
Roasted, husked beans prepared as coffee substitutes fall under Chapter 9 for coffee and substitutes, not raw cocoa.
