Heading 0910 — Ginger, saffron, tumeric (curcuma), thyme, bay leaves, curry and other spices
Chapter 09: Coffee, tea, mate and spices
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 091099 when importing or exporting spices that don't fit into specific categories like ginger or saffron. This code is suitable for products such as mixed spice blends or lesser-known spices that are not explicitly listed under other HS codes.
This HS-6 line is part of the broader 0910 heading, which includes well-known spices like ginger and turmeric. Unlike those specific spices, 091099 encompasses a variety of spices that are not classified elsewhere, making it essential for traders dealing with unique or specialty spices.
For example, if you're shipping a blend of spices that includes thyme, curry powder, and other ingredients, you would classify it under 091099. In contrast, if you were shipping pure turmeric, you would use 091010 for that specific spice.
When considering 091099, think about products like dried spice mixes, specialty blends for cooking, or even dried herbs that don't have their own specific HS codes. This flexibility helps importers and exporters accurately classify their goods.
