Last updated: April 2026 dataAromatic seeds used across food manufacturing, distilling, and pharmaceutical flavoring, this group spans coriander and cumin — staples of global spice blending — through to juniper berries, which are a regulated botanical input for gin production. Whole versus ground presentation is a key commercial variable: whole seeds command different pricing and shelf-life profiles than milled product, and some buyers specify moisture content and volatile-oil percentage as quality benchmarks. FDA governs admissibility for all entries, and importers should ensure country-of-origin documentation is precise, as coriander and cumin in particular originate from a wide range of producing regions with varying quality standards.

Yes, juniper berries fall within this SITC heading alongside anise, fennel, coriander, cumin, caraway, and badian. However, when juniper berries are destined for distilling or pharmaceutical use rather than direct food use, buyers should confirm that the end-use description on commercial documents accurately reflects the intended application, as this can affect FDA review and downstream labeling requirements.
US food manufacturers commonly specify minimum volatile-oil content, maximum moisture levels, and freedom from extraneous matter or pesticide residues. Certificates of analysis from accredited laboratories in the country of origin, along with phytosanitary certificates, are standard documentation. FDA may sample shipments for aflatoxin and pesticide residue testing, particularly for seeds from certain origins. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA for admissibility requirements specific to your shipment.
