0910

Analysis

Heading 0910 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers ginger, saffron, turmeric (curcuma), thyme, bay leaves, curry and other spices. It divides into 6 six-digit subheadings and 13 eight-digit tariff lines, with 14 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.

7 of its 12 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (58%) and 5 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 4.8%. The median line pays duty-free.

1 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.

The largest subheadings are 0910.99 (other, 8 lines), 0910.11 (unnamed, 1 line), 0910.12 (unnamed, 1 line) and 0910.20 (unnamed, 1 line).

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Spice and Extract Manufacturing (311942) and All Other Miscellaneous Crop Farming (111998). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
