Overview
This classification specifically covers Robusta coffee beans that are not roasted and have undergone a decaffeination process, but are certified as organic. The "certified organic" designation signifies that the coffee has been produced and processed according to specific organic farming and handling standards, which are typically verified by an accredited certifying body.
This category is distinct from its sibling, "Other" (0901.12.00.55), by its explicit certification as organic. While both fall under decaffeinated, unroasted Robusta coffee, the "Certified organic" sub-classification requires adherence to and proof of organic production methods, differentiating it from non-organic or uncertified decaffeinated Robusta coffee beans.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification ends with the specific identification of decaffeinated, unroasted Robusta coffee that meets the stringent requirements of organic certification. Proper documentation of organic certification will be crucial for correct customs declaration under this HTS code.
