Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 091091 when importing or exporting mixtures of spices that include two or more products from different headings, such as a curry powder blend containing turmeric, cumin, and coriander. This code is essential for accurately classifying these complex spice mixtures.
This HS-6 line specifically covers spice mixtures that may include a variety of ingredients, distinguishing it from single spices like pure turmeric or ginger, which fall under separate codes. If your product consists of a blend, 091091 is the appropriate classification.
When assessing whether to use this code, consider the composition of your product. For instance, a packaged curry mix with multiple spices, or a herbal seasoning blend containing thyme and bay leaves, would qualify under 091091. In contrast, a single spice like ground ginger would not.
It's important to note that mixtures classified under 091091 could also include flavoring agents or other seasonings, provided they contain at least two different spices. Ensure that your product's labeling reflects this to avoid misclassification.
