0906.11.00.00 - Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume)

This HTS category, 0906.11.00.00, specifically classifies whole or broken cinnamon bark derived from the species *Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume*, commonly known as Ceylon cinnamon or true cinnamon. It encompasses cinnamon in its raw form, where the bark has not undergone any processing to break it down into smaller particles. This includes the characteristic rolled quills or larger pieces of bark as harvested and prepared for export.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 0906.19.00.00, which covers "Other" non-crushed or ground cinnamon. While both fall under the umbrella of unground cinnamon, 0906.11.00.00 is reserved exclusively for *Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume*. Therefore, any other species of cinnamon tree, such as cassia (which may also be imported in whole stick form), would be classified under the "Other" category.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 0906.11.00.00. The classification is complete at this level, relying on the identification of the species and its physical state (neither crushed nor ground). Importers and exporters should ensure accurate identification of the cinnamon species to ensure correct classification within this specific sub-heading.
