What HS code 0910 covers
Some countries call the same number the HSN code 0910. The WCO text spells turmeric as "tumeric". It is the same spice.
The first four digits are the heading. The next two digits give the six-digit subheading. You will often see a dotted form, such as 0910.11 for 091011 and 0910.30 for 091030. Many countries add more digits after these six for their own tariff. The first six digits stay the same, so they are the safe part to compare across borders.
HS 0910 subheadings: ginger, saffron, turmeric and other spices
Heading 0910 splits into six subheadings. Here is what each one means in plain words.
- 091011 (0910.11): ginger that is neither crushed nor ground, such as whole or sliced pieces.
- 091020 (0910.20): saffron.
- 091030 (0910.30): turmeric (curcuma).
- 091091 (0910.91): mixtures of two or more products from different headings.
- 091099 (0910.99): other spices in this heading that have no code of their own.
How to choose the right 0910 code
For ginger, look at its form. Whole or cut pieces go under 091011. Ginger that has been crushed or ground, like powder, goes under 091012. The form on the day of shipment is what counts.
Turmeric and saffron are simple. Each has its own code, 091030 and 091020.
Thyme, bay leaves and curry do not have separate codes here. They fall under 091099, which means "not elsewhere classified" in this heading. A mixed spice product is different. If it blends two or more products from different headings, use 091091.
Duties and taxes differ by country and by national tariff line, so check the full local code before you ship. The HS code classifier can help you narrow it down.
Spices classified outside heading 0910
Many well-known spices sit in nearby headings, not in 0910. If your product is not in the list above, check these:
- Pepper, and dried or ground chillies (capsicum) and pimenta: heading 0904.
- Vanilla: heading 0905.
- Cloves: heading 0907.
