Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 090922 when importing or exporting crushed or ground coriander seeds. For example, a shipment of 50 kg bags of ground coriander for a spice manufacturer would fall under this code.

This code specifically applies to coriander seeds that have been crushed or ground, distinguishing them from whole seeds classified under HS-6 090921. If you're dealing with whole coriander seeds, you'll need to refer to that line instead.

Coriander is a popular spice used in various cuisines, and this HS-6 line captures the processed form, which is often used in spice blends and seasoning mixes. Be aware that this classification does not include other spices like cumin or fennel, which have their own specific codes.

When shipping ground coriander, ensure your packaging clearly states the product as crushed or ground to avoid misclassification. This detail is crucial for customs clearance and can prevent delays.
