CERTIFIED STOCKS: Certified stocks are physical Arabica coffee inventories, within the specifications of quality required by ICE NY, that can be delivered for futures liquidation. A trade that has a short contract in NY can deliver Arabica coffee to ICE for a future contract instead of performing financial liquidation. A commercial seller has the option to deliver the coffee at the delivery date. A commercial buyer of a future contract has the obligation to receive the coffee if it is delivered by the seller.
