0909.22.00.00 - Crushed or ground

This HTS classification, 0909.22.00.00, specifically covers coriander seeds that have been processed by crushing or grinding. This includes any form of coriander seeds that have undergone physical reduction in particle size, such as being milled into a powder or coarsely crushed into smaller fragments. The preparation method is the defining characteristic for goods falling under this heading.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 0909.21.00.00, by the physical state of the coriander seeds. While 0909.21.00.00 encompasses whole, uncrushed, and unground coriander seeds, 0909.22.00.00 exclusively applies to those that have been mechanically broken down. Therefore, the presence or absence of crushing or grinding is the key differentiator for accurate classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this heading is solely determined by the product being coriander seeds that are either crushed or ground. Practical application would involve examining the physical form of the imported coriander product to ascertain if it has been subjected to these processing methods.
