Last updated: July 2026 dataVietnam leads US imports of crushed and ground cinnamon and cinnamon-tree flowers, with Indonesia and Sri Lanka also major sources — a supply profile that reflects the dominance of cassia-type cinnamon in the ground spice market. All forms enter under a single 10-digit line (0906200000), meaning that ground Ceylon cinnamon and ground cassia are not separated at the tariff level. Importers sourcing from China should note that ground cinnamon and spice products from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin verification and supplier documentation particularly important for cost management.

Potentially yes — if cinnamon bark from one country is ground in a second country, a substantial transformation analysis determines the country of origin for US tariff and marking purposes. CBP generally considers grinding alone to be insufficient to confer a new origin, meaning the origin of the raw bark typically governs. However, if additional processing steps are involved, the analysis may differ. Importers should consult a licensed customs broker or request a binding ruling from CBP when the processing country differs from the bark-origin country.
Ground cinnamon sold at retail must comply with FDA food labeling regulations, including country of origin marking on the outer packaging and, for consumer packages, nutrition and ingredient labeling under 21 CFR Part 101. If the product is labeled as 'Ceylon cinnamon' or a specific species, the label claim must be substantiated by supplier documentation. Consult a licensed customs broker or food regulatory counsel for current compliance requirements.
