Anatomy of 090112

What that costs: 090112 into Canada
An illustrative consignment of 090112 invoiced at CAD 2,000.00, priced in CAD because a threshold is set in the destination's currency and nothing here is converted.
| Goods value on the invoice | CAD 2,000.00 |
| International freight | CAD 120.00 |
| Cargo insurance | CAD 30.00 |
| Value the duty is charged on, FOB basis | CAD 2,000.00 |
| Duty at 0% | CAD 0.00 |
| Canada tax at 5%, charged on the value plus the duty | CAD 100.00 |
| Total, before commercial charges | CAD 2,250.00 |
And if the consignment were small
Canada relieves customs duties and taxes on consignments at or under CAD 20. The 090112 shipment above is over that, so its duty is charged in full. The same code invoiced at exactly CAD 20 with no freight would be charged CAD 0.00 of duty and CAD 0.00 of tax, a total of CAD 20.00. The rate on the 090112 row has not changed; only the charge is relieved.
Selling rather than buying? CAD 2,250.00 is what your buyer in Canada pays to take delivery of this consignment, yours to pay if you quote DDP and theirs if you quote DAP: Exporting to Canada sets out who collects it and what your invoice has to say.
An illustration, not a quotation: broker fees, handling and any trade remedy on the origin sit outside it. Price 090112 on your own numbers in the duty calculator.

Re-check first: Decaffeination is the whole of the difference between this code and 090111, and roasting moves the goods again to 090121. Only the United States is priced here so far, on one national line, so confirm the destination before carrying the zero anywhere else.
What falls under 090112
- Coffee beans from which the caffeine has been removed, not roasted
- Decaffeinated green beans in any presentation, in sacks, in bulk or vacuum packed, provided they have not been roasted
- Green coffee decaffeinated by water, by supercritical carbon dioxide or by a solvent, all of which reach the same subheading
What's specifically excluded
These look similar but belong under a different code:
Commonly confused with
090111: Green coffee, not decaffeinated
One processing step separates them and it is invisible in the sack. Both are unroasted green beans, so the classification rests on the supplier's process declaration and the contract rather than on anything an inspector can see, and a mixed container needs the two lots kept apart on the packing list.
090122: Roasted decaffeinated coffee
The tariff asks its two questions in a fixed order and traders routinely reverse them. Heading 0901 splits first on roasted against not roasted, and only inside each of those halves on decaffeinated against not. Decaffeinated beans that have then been roasted are 0901.22, not this subheading.
Classification & cost note
The subheading is reached by answering the tariff's questions in the tariff's order: roasted or not first, decaffeinated or not second. Reversing them lands a consignment in 0901.22 and is the single most common error on decaffeinated coffee entries. The decaffeination method makes no difference at all to the code: water process, supercritical carbon dioxide and solvent extraction all produce a 0901.12 bean, and the method statement matters for residue limits and for retail labelling rather than for the tariff. What does need care in the file is proof that the beans are genuinely unroasted at import, because even a light roast moves the goods to the other half of the heading, and the difference between the two halves is a real one in several tariffs. Roasters buy green and roast in the destination market for exactly that reason, and a decaffeinated green bean follows the same commercial logic. On a green coffee consignment the binding constraints are usually phytosanitary certification and, for European Union importers, the deforestation due diligence file, both of which take longer to assemble than the customs entry does.
Typical products: Water process decaffeinated green Arabica · Supercritical carbon dioxide decaffeinated green beans · Solvent decaffeinated Robusta for industrial roasting · Decaffeinated green lots in jute sacks for specialty roasters · Vacuum packed decaffeinated green coffee · Decaffeinated green coffee in one tonne bulk bags
What the notes to section II say
Chapter 09 sits in section II, vegetable products, where a section note governs every chapter in the section and applies before the heading notes below; the one reaching chapter 09 names no heading this site holds a code under, and it is quoted whole on the chapter 09 page, read from https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/sections/2 on 2026-09-08.
What the nomenclature says about heading 0901
090112 is a subheading of 0901, coffee, whether or not roasted or decaffeinated; coffee husks and skins; coffee substitutes containing coffee in any proportion , and this site holds 2 other codes under the same heading, which every rule below governs equally.
No numbered note to chapter 09 takes heading 0901 as its subject, which is what the published notes say rather than a gap on this page: the heading is defined by its own wording above and by the note to the chapter, quoted in full on the chapter 09 page.
Read from the notes to chapter 09 published in the UK Trade Tariff by HM Revenue and Customs, at https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/chapters/09, with the heading title from https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/headings/0901, on 2026-09-07, with the whole layer and the reason a heading note is a chapter note set out on the chapter 09 page. These notes are part of the international text of the Harmonized System, so the rule is the same whichever destination a shipment is going to, and it decides classification and never a rate.
Questions about 090112
Does the decaffeination method change the code?
No. Water, supercritical carbon dioxide and solvent processes all give the same subheading. The method belongs on the specification for food safety and labelling reasons, not on the tariff decision.
Where does roasted decaffeinated coffee go?
To 0901.22. Heading 0901 divides on roasting before it divides on caffeine, so a bean that has been decaffeinated and then roasted leaves this subheading entirely.
How is it proved that beans are still green?
By the supplier's process declaration and the commercial description, supported by the physical goods. A roasted bean is visually obvious, so the question in practice is a documentary one about lots that were part processed.
Is decaffeinated green coffee treated differently for plant health?
No. It is the same agricultural commodity as any other green coffee and carries the same phytosanitary and, in the European Union, deforestation due diligence obligations.
