Spices, Not Elsewhere Specified or Included (NESOI)

Curry powder has its own dedicated 10-digit line (0910991000) within the NESOI heading, distinguishing it from the general spice-mixture heading 091091. The Chapter 9 schedule specifically names curry, so it does not fall into the Note 1(b) mixture rule. Importers should use 0910991000 for curry powder rather than the mixture heading to avoid misclassification.

The US schedule separates Lippia spp. origanum by processing state: 0910992000 covers crude or unmanufactured product (essentially raw dried herb), while 0910994000 covers processed or manufactured forms. The distinction typically turns on whether the herb has undergone cleaning, cutting, sifting, or other value-added processing beyond simple drying. Importers should review the supplier's processing documentation to select the correct line.
