Last updated: August 2026 dataGround and crushed ginger is classified under a single US tariff line (0910120000), with India the dominant supplier—reflecting India's position as the world's largest ginger producer and exporter of processed ginger spice. China is the second major source, and both origins have been subject to FDA import alerts related to microbial contamination and pesticide residues, making supplier qualification and certificate-of-analysis documentation a routine compliance requirement. The processing method—crushed versus ground—does not subdivide the heading, but importers should confirm that further-processed forms such as ginger oleoresin or ginger extract are not misclassified here.

Ground ginger has been subject to FDA import alerts for Salmonella contamination and pesticide residue violations. Importers should implement a Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) under FSMA, obtain certificates of analysis for each lot, and confirm the foreign facility is registered with FDA. Shipments from suppliers on active import alerts may be detained without physical examination. Admissibility of spice commodities can be complex; consult a licensed customs broker or FDA regulatory specialist.
Crushed or ground ginger in its natural dried form belongs in 091012. However, ginger oleoresin (a solvent-extracted concentrate) and ginger essential oil are classified in Chapter 33, while ginger-flavored preparations or sauces may fall in Chapter 21. The key classification boundary is whether the product remains a spice in recognizable form or has been transformed into an extract, essence, or food preparation.
