Last updated: April 2026 dataWhole coriander seeds — the dried fruit of Coriandrum sativum — enter under 0909210000 and serve dual roles as a culinary spice and as a flavoring agent in the brewing and distilling industries, where whole seeds are preferred to preserve aromatic compounds until point of use. India is the leading supplier, reflecting its position as the world's largest coriander producer, with Canada a notable secondary source that benefits from proximity and established agricultural trade relationships. FDA food safety requirements apply, and importers should be aware that coriander seeds can carry Salmonella contamination, a risk that has triggered FDA import alerts against specific foreign establishments in the past.

Canada is a USMCA partner, and qualifying goods of Canadian origin may be eligible for preferential tariff treatment under that agreement. Importers must ensure the product meets USMCA rules of origin and present a valid certification of origin at entry. A licensed customs broker can confirm whether a specific shipment qualifies and assist with the required documentation.
Salmonella contamination is the primary microbial concern for whole coriander seeds and has been the basis for FDA import alerts against specific foreign suppliers. Importers should require microbiological testing from their suppliers, maintain FSVP records, and check the FDA import alert database before establishing a new supplier relationship. Shipments from establishments on active alerts may be detained at the port of entry.
