India is the leading US supplier, followed by Canada, whose temperate prairie regions support significant commercial coriander cultivation.

APHIS phytosanitary requirements apply when whole coriander seeds are imported for planting or propagation purposes. Seeds intended for consumption as a spice fall under FDA's food import program. Shipments must be clearly designated by end use on entry documents; seeds presented as food-grade but suspected of being viable planting stock may be subject to APHIS inspection.
Canada's prairie provinces — particularly Saskatchewan — have developed a substantial coriander seed industry suited to the region's climate. Geographic proximity and USMCA trade terms make Canadian coriander a competitive option for US spice processors and food manufacturers relative to more distant suppliers.
