Last updated: August 2026 dataGingerbread and similar spiced honey-cake products occupy a distinct HS6 heading that captures molasses- or honey-sweetened baked goods flavored with ginger, cinnamon, or comparable spices, classified under a single tariff line 1905200000. Canada and Germany are the leading suppliers, with China and Vietnam also contributing meaningfully to US import volumes. Because these products often contain multiple allergens — wheat, eggs, tree nuts — FDA's allergen labeling rules and FSMA facility registration requirements are central compliance considerations. Importers should verify that ingredient declarations and country-of-origin labeling meet US standards before goods arrive at port.

The heading captures baked goods whose characteristic flavor profile derives from spices such as ginger, cinnamon, or cloves combined with sweeteners like honey or molasses. Products that are primarily sweet biscuits or cookies without that spiced-honey character would typically fall under the sweet biscuits heading (190531) instead.
Imports of gingerbread and similar baked goods from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should verify the current Section 301 status for HTS 1905200000 with a licensed customs broker before shipment, as applicability and rates can change.
