HS codes
Coffee exports fall under HS 0901. Classify precisely — the first six digits are international, the rest are India's ITC-HS extension. Your HS code drives duty, FTA eligibility and the paperwork the buyer's customs will expect.
Export requirements & certifications
- Coffee Board of India registration.
- Phytosanitary certificate; ICO certificate of origin.
- FSSAI for processing units; buyers often want Rainforest Alliance / organic / Fairtrade for specialty.
- Moisture, defect count and screen size to the buyer's contract.
Requirements change and are buyer- and destination-specific — confirm the current rules with your export promotion council and the buyer before you ship.
Documentation
Every coffee shipment needs the core set: commercial invoice, packing list, shipping bill, bill of lading or airway bill, certificate of origin (preferential where an FTA applies), and the category-specific certificates above. See the full export documentation checklist and the coffee export guide.
Finding buyers
The reliable method: identify companies that already import coffee in your target market from customs data, reach the named procurement contact, and open on the trade signal — not a generic pitch. EximHub does that end to end. Read how to find coffee buyers, how to find export buyers or how customs trade data works.
