Last updated: July 2026 dataGround and crushed mace — the dried aril surrounding the nutmeg seed — is a specialty spice used in processed meats, baked goods, and savory seasonings, classified here in its milled form rather than as whole blades. Indonesia is the dominant global producer and the leading US supplier, as the Banda Islands remain the historic center of Myristica fragrans cultivation; India and Grenada are secondary sources. The US schedule distinguishes Bombay or wild mace in ground form (0908222000) from other crushed or ground mace (0908224000), a variety-level split that requires origin and type documentation at entry. FDA food-safety requirements apply, and importers should verify pesticide-residue compliance given the concentrated nature of ground spice products.

The US schedule carves out a specific line (0908222000) for Bombay or wild mace in ground form, which refers to mace derived from Myristica malabarica or related wild species rather than the commercially cultivated Myristica fragrans. The distinction requires the importer to document the botanical species of origin; mace from cultivated nutmeg that does not meet the Bombay/wild definition falls under the NESOI line (0908224000).
Ground mace is subject to FDA oversight as a food ingredient. Because milling concentrates any contaminants present in the raw spice, FDA scrutinizes ground spice imports for Salmonella, aflatoxin, and pesticide residues. Importers should implement FSMA Foreign Supplier Verification Program procedures, request certificates of analysis for each lot, and confirm that their suppliers are not listed on active FDA import alerts before shipment.
