    Frequently Asked Questions — US Buyers

    Confirm the current FDA, FSVP, customs, agriculture, prior-notice, facility-registration, tax, and broker requirements for your transaction. Agree the origin-side document set with the exporter before contracting and have a qualified US adviser review the plan.

    Ask a licensed customs broker to confirm the current tariff classification, origin treatment, merchandise-processing fees, harbour fees, inspections, bonds, and any other charges for the exact product and entry. Do not calculate landed cost from a general duty statement alone.

    Request the current lot's cup report, assessor details, sensory notes, process and moisture information, then roast and cup a representative sample. Confirm that the approved sample is linked to the commercial coffee offered.

    Minimum order depends on the lot, available volume, packing, destination, and consolidation route. Ask for the minimum quantity and all logistics costs in the written offer for the specific coffee.

    Availability changes as lots are processed and committed. Request a current availability list, lot sheet, and samples for washed and natural coffees from Guji, Yirgacheffe, Sidama, and other origins.

    Submit your company, US destination, preferred origins or processes, and likely volume. We then confirm current lots, sample eligibility, quantity, available records, courier cost, proposed dispatch date, and expected transit window.
