Import Tips

Verify the product is labeled as 'instant coffee' with no flavor additives to confirm classification under 2101.11.21; flavored variants go to 2101.11.40

Provide Certificate of Analysis confirming 100% coffee content and solubility test results to avoid reclassification as roasted coffee (0901)

Ensure packaging complies with FDA food labeling rules for net weight, ingredients, and country of origin to prevent customs holds
