Green or roasted?
Unroasted coffee and roasted coffee are separated before the final statistical suffix. State the processing condition clearly on the commercial description.

Coffee HS code 0901: green, roasted and decaf lookup
Coffee generally begins under HS heading 0901. The reviewed 0901.21 candidate covers roasted, non-decaffeinated coffee; green beans, decaffeinated coffee, coffee husks, and substitutes use different branches.
HS and HTS classification is fact-specific. Product material, function, technical specs, country-specific tariff schedules, chapter notes, and CBP rulings can change the correct code.
Decaffeinated or not?
Decaffeination creates another branch within heading 0901. Confirm this fact even when the retail product name does not emphasize it.
Pure coffee or preparation?
Instant mixes, extracts, essences, substitutes, and preparations containing sugar or dairy may not stay in the same coffee heading.
Origin and admissibility
A free general duty rate does not replace food admissibility, origin, labeling, quota, or agency checks that may apply to the shipment.
Is roasted coffee duty-free in the United States?
The reviewed 0901.21 candidate shows “Free” in the general duty column of the current dataset. That is not a complete landed-cost answer: classification, customs value, origin treatment, fees, and any applicable trade measures still need verification against the live official schedule.
