Market

Cascara (dried coffee cherry husk/pulp) is present in Chile mainly as a niche, specialty-market infusion product sold through coffee-focused retailers. As a plant-origin product, imports face Chile’s phytosanitary oversight and can require documentary review and inspection at the point of entry. For food marketing and labeling, Chile’s Reglamento Sanitario de los Alimentos (RSA) defines “tea” as a product from the tea plant, so cascara is typically positioned as a coffee-derived infusion rather than “tea” in the strict regulatory sense. Overall, Chile functions primarily as an import-dependent consumer market for cascara.
Market RoleImport-dependent consumer market (net importer)
Domestic RoleNiche specialty infusion product for domestic retail and foodservice

Specification

Packaging
  • Retail packs for infusion use (specialty coffee/infusion retail format observed).

Supply Chain

Value Chain
  • Coffee-producing origin: coffee cherry processing by-product (cascara) -> cleaning/drying -> packing for export -> ocean/air freight -> port entry in Chile -> SAG documentary review and phytosanitary inspection (as applicable) -> importer storage -> specialty retail/foodservice
Temperature
  • Moisture control is critical for dried plant materials; protect from humidity during transport and storage to reduce mold/quality loss risk.

Risks

Regulatory Compliance HighImport clearance can be blocked or severely delayed if cascara shipments do not meet SAG’s phytosanitary import requirements (including required documentation and inspection outcomes) or if the product/condition/origin is not yet regulated and triggers SAG’s consultation/authorization and potential pest-risk-analysis pathway; SAG notes rejected shipments may be re-exported or destroyed at the importer’s cost.Before contracting, confirm SAG import requirement status for the exact product form/origin; prepare CDA and any required phytosanitary certificate via the exporting NPPO; align packaging/cleanliness to inspection expectations; use pre-arrival document review where available.
Regulatory Compliance MediumMisclassification or mislabeling risk: Chile’s RSA defines “tea” as coming from the tea plant (genus Thea), so marketing cascara as “tea” without proper denomination/context may create labeling/compliance issues under the RSA framework.Label as a coffee-derived infusion product (e.g., “infusión de cáscara de café”) and ensure full RSA-compliant labeling for the packaged food category used by the importer.
Documentation Gap MediumDocumentation gaps around CDA/food import routing and storage authorization can delay customs/health workflows for imported foods.Follow the SEREMI de Salud CDA process described on ChileAtiende and align the destination warehouse authorization and transport details with the customs/entry plan.
Sustainability MediumOrigin-dependent ESG exposure: cascara inherits upstream coffee supply-chain risks (deforestation/land-use change and labor risks in certain origins), which can create buyer-rejection risk if due diligence evidence is weak.Implement origin-level due diligence (farm/region traceability where feasible), require supplier declarations and third-party sustainability/labor documentation where available, and document risk assessment steps.
Sustainability
  • Upstream origin-dependent deforestation/forest-conversion risk screening for coffee supply chains (relevant where cascara is sourced from coffee-growing origins).
  • Origin-level climate and land-use pressures can affect coffee supply resilience and the availability/quality of coffee by-products such as cascara.
Labor & Social
  • Origin-dependent labor risk: coffee is listed by the U.S. Department of Labor (ILAB) as a good associated with child labor/forced labor concerns in certain source countries; cascara sourcing should therefore include origin-specific labor due diligence.

FAQ

What are the key documents commonly referenced for importing cascara (plant-origin food) into Chile?Chile’s SAG describes the import process for plant-origin products as involving the Certificación de Destinación Aduanera (CDA) and, when applicable, a phytosanitary certificate issued by the exporting country’s NPPO/ONPF. For imported foods, ChileAtiende describes the CDA process managed through SEREMI de Salud, and it references standard trade documents such as the commercial invoice and transport document.
What happens if a cascara shipment is rejected during SAG inspection in Chile?SAG states that if an imported plant-origin shipment is rejected during its inspection process, it must be re-exported (reembarcado) or destroyed at the importer’s cost.
Can cascara be marketed as “tea” in Chile?Chile’s RSA defines “tea” as a product obtained from parts of the tea plant (genus Thea). Because cascara is a coffee-cherry by-product, it is better positioned and labeled as a coffee-derived infusion product, while still meeting the RSA’s general labeling and commercialization rules for foods.
