Last updated: April 2026 dataCrushed and ground mace is subdivided at the 10-digit level into Bombay or wild mace, ground (0908222000), and other crushed or ground mace not elsewhere specified (0908224000), reflecting meaningful botanical and commercial distinctions between Myristica malabarica (Bombay mace) and true mace from Myristica fragrans. Indonesia and India are the primary sources, with Grenada supplying a smaller but commercially recognized Caribbean origin prized by premium spice buyers. The ground form is widely used in processed meat seasoning, baked goods, and pharmaceutical flavoring, making accurate species identification important for both classification and quality assurance. FDA oversight applies at entry, and importers should be prepared to substantiate species claims when Bombay mace is declared.

Bombay mace (from Myristica malabarica) has a different flavor profile and commercial value compared to true mace (from Myristica fragrans). The HTS separates them at the 10-digit level — 0908222000 for Bombay or wild mace, ground, and 0908224000 for other crushed or ground mace — because the distinction affects both duty treatment and end-use labeling. Importers declaring Bombay mace should be ready to provide botanical documentation if CBP requests verification.
Grenada is a beneficiary country under the Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI), which has historically provided duty preferences for eligible spice products. However, preference program eligibility and rates can change, and importers should verify current CBI status and applicable rules of origin with a licensed customs broker before claiming any preference at entry.
