- Short answer
- Free on the schedule — HTS 0901.11.00 — but products of China carry an extra 7.5% under HTS heading 9903.88.15, read September 6, 2026.
- The layer above the rate
- Country tariff measures sit on top of the schedule and change fast; everything here was read September 6, 2026.
- China
- Products of China in all six 0901 subheadings carry an extra 7.5% under HTS heading 9903.88.15.
- Brazil
- The live Section 301 action on Brazil, 25% from July 22, 2026, exempts all six 0901 subheadings.
- Not the whole heading
- Coffee substitutes containing coffee, 0901.90.20, carry 1.5 cents per kilogram — Free covers the bean, not all of 0901.
- Where to look it up
- Search your own code at hts.usitc.gov, where General is the column for normal-trade-relations origins; re-check measures at cbp.gov/trade/programs-administration/trade-remedies.
- Who pays
- CBP holds the importer of record responsible for all applicable duties, taxes and fees, even when a broker files.
- Scope
- US commercial imports only. Other countries set their own duties, and beans in luggage are a separate USDA rule.
What rate does the US tariff schedule set?
Unroasted, undecaffeinated beans classify under HTS 0901.11.00, and its General column read Free in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule at hts.usitc.gov when we searched it on September 6, 2026 — the column that applies to origins with normal trade relations, not a preferential rate earned under a trade agreement.
Subheadings 0901.12.00, 0901.21.00, 0901.22.00 and coffee husks and skins at 0901.90.10 read Free in the same column, but the substitutes that contain coffee, 0901.90.20, carry 1.5 cents per kilogram. The duty-free claim is true of the bean, not of the heading it sits in.
Does your origin country change the answer?
For one origin, yes: the schedule puts products of China in all six 0901 subheadings under heading 9903.88.15, which adds 7.5% on top. For the other measures we read on September 6, 2026, no. That layer is why public answers split — one half quotes the schedule, the other a tariff headline.
Executive Order 14389, published February 25, 2026, says the IEEPA duties imposed under nine named orders, EO 14257 and EO 14323 among them, “shall no longer be in effect and, as soon as practicable, shall no longer be collected” — the text as we read it on September 6, 2026.
The Section 301 action on Brazil, 25% from July 22, 2026, lists all six 0901 subheadings among the articles its additional duty does not reach, as its Annex I read on September 6, 2026.
The Section 122 surcharge under Proclamation 11012 applied to products of any country and exempted all six 0901 subheadings, and it lapsed on July 24, 2026, as the tariff schedule we read on September 6, 2026 records.
Who pays, and where does your own number come from?
Whoever files the paperwork, the importer of record is who CBP holds responsible for the correctness of the entry documentation and for all applicable duties, taxes and fees. Your own number comes from searching your eight-digit code on the schedule, not from a rate quoted in prose — including this one. Re-check the layer above the schedule on the CBP trade-remedies page.
This answer covers US commercial imports only; other countries set their own duties, and beans in a traveller’s luggage fall under a separate USDA rule.
