Last updated: July 2026 dataIndia leads US imports of crushed and ground Capsicum and Pimenta products — including ground paprika, cayenne, chili powder, and ground allspice — with Spain and Mexico also prominent suppliers, reflecting both Old World paprika traditions and proximity-driven trade. The heading's six 10-digit lines separate ground paprika (0904222000), Anaheim and ancho (0904224000), mixes of mashed hot red pepper and salt (0904227300), other ground Capsicum (0904227600), and ground Pimenta/allspice (0904228000). A critical classification issue arises with blended products: mixes of macerated hot red pepper and salt (0904227300) are specifically enumerated and must be distinguished from pure ground pepper lines. Imports from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs, which affects sourcing decisions for ground spice blenders.

Yes — the US tariff schedule specifically provides for mixes of mashed or macerated hot red pepper and salt under 0904227300, keeping such products within Chapter 9 rather than reclassifying them as prepared condiments under Chapter 21. The key condition is that the mixture consists of Capsicum pepper and salt without other significant additives; additional ingredients such as vinegar or garlic could shift classification to a prepared sauce heading.
The same FDA food facility registration, Prior Notice, and food safety requirements apply to ground spices as to whole dried spices. However, ground products present a higher microbial surface-area risk, and FDA's import alert history for ground spices includes Salmonella and filth findings. Importers of ground Capsicum products should ensure foreign suppliers have documented pathogen reduction controls. Consult a licensed customs broker or food regulatory counsel for current admissibility status.
