U.S. imports of Spices N.E.S. and Mixtures of Two or More Spices (SITC 07529) totaled $27.3M in August 2026, imported from 99 countries.

Spices N.E.S. and Mixtures of Two or More Spices imports of $27.3M in August 2026 ran 19% above the year-to-date monthly average of $22.9M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataBlended spice preparations and spices not elsewhere specified — including turmeric, fenugreek, paprika, and proprietary seasoning mixes — fall under this residual heading, making precise ingredient disclosure on entry documents especially important. Mixed spice products are classified here only when the blend combines spices from different headings within SITC Group 075; a blend of, say, cumin and coriander alone may classify differently than a curry powder combining multiple spice families. FDA admissibility applies to all entries, and allergen labeling requirements under US food law add a compliance layer for retail-packaged blends. Importers should confirm that each component spice in a mixture is individually identified on the commercial invoice. Classification and admissibility are complex — consult a licensed customs broker or FDA for guidance.

A blend combining spices from two or more different SITC Group 075 headings — such as a curry powder containing turmeric, coriander, cumin, and chili — is classified under 07529 as a mixture. If a product contains only spices from a single heading, it may classify under that specific heading instead. Accurate ingredient lists and proportions on commercial invoices are essential for correct classification.
Retail-packaged spice mixtures entering the US must comply with FDA food labeling regulations, including ingredient declaration in descending order of predominance, net quantity of contents, and allergen disclosure if any component (such as celery or mustard) triggers labeling requirements. Foreign-language-only labels are not acceptable for retail sale; importers must ensure English-language labeling is applied before or at the time of entry.
