0901.22.00.65 - Certified organic

This HTS classification, 0901.22.00.65, specifically designates coffee that has undergone decaffeination and is presented as "certified organic." This means the coffee beans have been processed to remove caffeine and meet the stringent standards of an organic certification body. The "certified organic" designation is a key differentiator for this specific classification.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 0901.22.00.70 "Other," by the explicit requirement of organic certification. While the "Other" category would encompass any decaffeinated roasted coffee that does not meet organic standards, this classification is reserved solely for those products that have successfully obtained and maintain official organic certification.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 0901.22.00.65 is finalized based on the coffee being roasted, decaffeinated, and possessing a valid organic certification. Importers must ensure they have the necessary documentation to substantiate the organic status of the coffee to comply with this specific HTS code.
