COMMODITY · COFFEE · HS 0901
Coffee under the EUDR.
Green, roasted, decaf — all coffee under HS 0901 is in scope, from hillside smallholdings to the roastery door.
FIG 01 — YOUR OBLIGATIONS
Three facts before anything else.
SCOPE
HS 0901
Coffee products under the listed HS codes — plus listed derivatives. Representative table below; the current Annex I is the boundary.
GEOLOCATION
POINT ≤4 HA · POLYGON >4 HA
Hillside plots of 1–5 ha take points; estates and cooperative processing blocks above 4 ha need polygons.
DEADLINE
30 DEC 2026 / 30 JUN 2027¹
Roasters and green-coffee importers: micro/small prepare for 30 Jun 2027, medium/large for 30 Dec 2026, per Regulation (EU) 2025/2650.
¹ Regulation (EU) 2025/2650.
FIG 02 — WHAT'S IN SCOPE
The Annex decides, not the label.
Coffee is in scope under HS 0901 — green and roasted, decaffeinated or not — since Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 as amended.
Extracts and preparations (HS 2101) are not on the listed codes, and the July 2026 amendments made no removals here as amended. The HS code is the boundary — confirm the current Annex I.
| HS CODE | PRODUCT NOTE |
|---|---|
| 0901 11 / 0901 12 | Coffee, not roasted (incl. decaffeinated) |
| 0901 21 / 0901 22 | Coffee, roasted (incl. decaffeinated) |
| 0901 40 | Coffee husks and skins |
REPRESENTATIVE CODES ONLY — ALWAYS CONFIRM AGAINST THE CURRENT ANNEX I OF REGULATION (EU) 2023/1115 AS AMENDED.
FIG 03 — GEOLOCATION RULES
One threshold, two formats.
≤ 0 ha
POINT ALLOWED
A single WGS84 coordinate at six decimal places locates plots of 4 ha or less.
> 0 ha
POLYGON REQUIRED
Plots above 4 ha need a closed vertex ring tracing the full boundary.
COFFEEHillside plots of 1–5 ha take points; estates and cooperative processing blocks above 4 ha need polygons.
FIG 04 — SUPPLY-CHAIN REALITY
Like cocoa, coffee is mostly grown on small plots — hillside farms of 1–5 ha across Ethiopia, Colombia, Vietnam and Brazil. Points cover most farms; estates and agglomerated smallholdings above 4 ha need polygons.
Cooperative aggregation is the structural challenge: washed coffee passes through wet mills that blend cherries from hundreds of members per day, and dry mills and exporters blend further. Traceability to plot level survives only if it is recorded at intake.
The industry already runs on lot documentation — marketing lots, quality grades, origin labels. EUDR geolocation slots into that paperwork when it is captured at the same moment, not reconstructed afterwards.
Roasters importing green coffee carry the DDS for their supply chain; roasted coffee is equally in scope (HS 0901 covers both), so the duty doesn’t end at the roastery door.
“A container of green coffee can hold the harvest of three hundred farms — the DDS asks for every one of their coordinates.”
KEY RISK — COFFEE
Blending at wet mills and warehouses breaks farm-to-lot links. Capture geolocation at cherry intake; a blended lot needs the union of all its contributing plots.
