0901.12.00.35 - Other

This HTS category, 0901.12.00.35, specifically covers "Other" types of decaffeinated, unroasted coffee that do not fit into the preceding sibling category. This includes unroasted Arabica coffee beans that have undergone a decaffeination process, but are not certified organic. The key defining characteristic is the decaffeination treatment while remaining in its raw, unroasted state, and not meeting the specific criteria for organic certification.

Distinguishing this classification from its sibling, 0901.12.00.20 ("Certified organic"), is crucial. While both are decaffeinated and unroasted Arabica coffee, this "Other" category is for shipments that are not officially recognized or certified as organic according to established organic farming and processing standards. Therefore, importers must ensure they possess the appropriate documentation to support either the organic certification claim for the sibling, or the classification under this "Other" designation if organic certification is absent.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 0901.12.00.35. All eligible goods fall directly into this final designation. The classification relies on the absence of organic certification for decaffeinated, unroasted Arabica coffee. Importers should maintain records that confirm the decaffeination process and the lack of organic certification to substantiate their classification declaration.
