Coffee takes heading 0901 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, split into not roasted and roasted, and each of those into decaffeinated or not. All four main lines print Free as general rate. Coffee is also on the exemption list of U.S. note 52(b), which takes it out of the 60-economy Section 301 duty, so green coffee from Vietnam, Colombia or Ethiopia owes no duty at all in this calculator. For Brazil, the 25 percent duty of heading 9903.05.01 has exemptions in U.S. note 50, which we did not extract, so the result of $2,500 (25%) on $10,000 is what the tool shows without them: read that note before you rely on it. Chinese coffee shows List 4A: +7.5% under the older China lists. Then come the fees, and for ocean cargo the harbor fee. Instant coffee and extracts are in heading 2101.

Which layers remain
Think of coffee as the test case for exemptions. The general rate is zero. The country duty is zero through note 52(b). What remains on an ocean shipment of $50,000 from Colombia is the merchandise processing fee and the harbor maintenance fee, which the fee calculator shows. Coffee substitutes containing coffee sit on 0901.90.20 at 1.5¢/kg, a rate per kilogram.
