Unroasted (green) coffee beans are classified under 0901.11.00. Roasted, non-decaffeinated coffee is 0901.21. Decaffeinated versions add a further distinction: green decaf is 0901.12, roasted decaf is 0901.22. Ground coffee follows the same heading as whole beans — grinding is not a processing step that changes the HS code. Instant coffee (freeze-dried, spray-dried) is 2101.11 as extracts, essences, and concentrates. Coffee pods (Nespresso, Dolce Gusto) containing roasted ground coffee are 2101.11 or 0901.21 depending on whether the capsule is hermetically sealed with pressurised gas — this is a point of ongoing classification debate in EU customs. Phytosanitary certificate may be required for green bean imports.
