0901.11.00.50 - Certified organic 🖩

This HTS category, 0901.11.00.50, specifically covers unroasted coffee that is certified organic. This designation applies to coffee beans that have been grown and processed in accordance with established organic farming standards, which typically prohibit the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. The "certified organic" label signifies that the product has undergone verification by an accredited certifying body, ensuring compliance with these stringent agricultural practices.

This specific subheading is differentiated from its sibling, 0901.11.00.65, which is designated for "Other." While both fall under unroasted, non-decaffeinated coffee, the "Other" subheading would encompass unroasted, non-decaffeinated coffee that does not possess organic certification. Therefore, the key distinguishing factor is the presence of verifiable organic certification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this code is definitive based on the unroasted, non-decaffeinated nature of the coffee and the crucial element of its certified organic status. Importers must ensure that proper documentation substantiating the organic certification is readily available.
