Last updated: April 2026 dataWhole cinnamon quills and cinnamon-tree flowers in unprocessed form are traded primarily as Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) or cassia-type cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia and related species), and the species distinction carries real commercial and regulatory weight: Ceylon cinnamon contains far lower levels of coumarin, a compound subject to food-safety scrutiny in several markets. For US import purposes, both types fall within this heading when neither crushed nor ground, but accurate species identification on documentation is increasingly important as buyers specify Ceylon versus cassia. FDA governs these as food ingredients, and APHIS phytosanitary requirements may apply.

At the SITC level, both Ceylon cinnamon and cassia-type cinnamon in whole form fall under the same heading. However, at the HTS 10-digit level, separate tariff lines may distinguish between species, affecting the applicable duty rate. Importers should specify the botanical species on commercial invoices and consult a licensed customs broker to confirm the correct HTS line.
Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) contains significantly lower levels of coumarin compared with cassia varieties. Coumarin is subject to maximum-level restrictions in food products in the EU and is a concern for manufacturers selling into multiple markets. For US domestic food-safety purposes, FDA has not set a specific coumarin limit, but health-conscious brands and export-oriented manufacturers often specify Ceylon to maintain cross-market compliance.
