HS 0910.99 Residual Spices Explained

Heading 0910 subheading table

Heading 0910 is the catch-all end of the spice chapter. It names ginger, saffron and turmeric explicitly, then gathers everything else into a mixtures line and a residual "other" line, 0910.99, where unlisted single spices land.

What the 0910.99 residual holds

• —The 0910.99 line captures spices that Chapter 9 does not name individually, such as thyme, bay leaves, curry and various single spices that lack their own subheading.
• —The 0910.91 mixtures line is separate; a curry powder or spice blend of several spices classifies as a mixture, not as any one spice.
• —The residual line matters because border controls and tariff treatment can differ from the named spices, so a product parked in 0910.99 needs its classification checked rather than assumed.

Buyer note

If a spice or blend does not map cleanly to a named subheading, it likely falls under 0910.91 (mixture) or 0910.99 (other). Confirm the eight-digit national code with a broker, because duty and check-rate treatment follow the exact line.
