0901.11.00 - Not decaffeinated

This HTS classification covers coffee beans that have not undergone the roasting process and have not been decaffeinated. This includes raw, green coffee beans in their natural state, which are the precursor to all roasted coffee products. The key characteristic here is the absence of roasting and decaffeination treatments.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, HTS 0901.12.00, which specifically covers coffee that has been decaffeinated, regardless of whether it has been roasted or not. Therefore, the critical differentiator is the presence or absence of the decaffeination process.

The subcategories within this node are designed to further refine the classification based on the botanical variety of the unroasted, non-decaffeinated coffee. These include "Arabica," "Robusta," and "Other," allowing for more granular tracking and statistical reporting of different coffee types in their raw, unroasted, and non-decaffeinated form.
