Last updated: July 2026 dataBotanically specific to Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume — true Ceylon cinnamon — this heading covers bark in whole, quill, or stick form that has not been crushed or ground, distinguishing it from cassia-type cinnamons that dominate the US retail market but classify under a separate heading. Sri Lanka is the leading supplier of authentic Ceylon cinnamon to the US, while Vietnam and Indonesia supply cassia varieties that may enter under related headings depending on species documentation. The species distinction carries regulatory weight: Ceylon cinnamon contains significantly lower coumarin levels than cassia, a consideration for food manufacturers targeting EU or health-conscious markets. FDA food-safety requirements apply at entry.

The heading is botanically restricted to Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume. Cassia varieties — including Vietnamese (C. loureiroi), Indonesian (C. burmannii), and Chinese cassia (C. aromaticum) — classify under a different heading. Importers should obtain botanical species certificates or phytosanitary documentation from the exporter to support the correct classification, as the two products look similar in stick form but are commercially and legally distinct.
Cassia varieties contain substantially higher levels of coumarin, a naturally occurring compound that the EU and some other markets regulate at low thresholds in food products. Food manufacturers formulating for export or for health-positioned products often specify Ceylon cinnamon (C. zeylanicum) to stay well within coumarin limits. This specification drives demand for Sri Lankan-origin product and affects sourcing decisions even for US-domestic production.
