Last updated: April 2026 dataGround ginger powder — the milled, shelf-stable form used extensively in food manufacturing, baking, and beverage flavoring — is classified separately from whole ginger and enters under a single 10-digit line (0910120000). India is the primary US supplier of ground ginger, with China and Israel also significant sources; India's dominance reflects its position as the world's largest ginger processor. FDA regulates ground ginger imports as a food ingredient and has historically flagged this commodity for Salmonella contamination and adulteration with non-ginger plant material, making supplier qualification and certificate-of-analysis review critical steps in the import process.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
FDA has identified Salmonella contamination and adulteration with foreign plant material as recurring issues in ground ginger imports. Importers should request certificates of analysis from suppliers, review FDA Import Alert listings for the specific establishment, and consider third-party microbiological testing before distribution.
The HTS separates ginger by physical form: whole or unground ginger falls under heading 091011, while crushed or ground ginger is classified under 091012 (specifically 0910120000 at the 10-digit level). The degree of processing at the time of importation — not the downstream use — governs which heading applies.
