0910.11.00.10 - Certified organic

This HTS category, 0910.11.00.10, specifically covers ginger that has been certified as organic. This designation applies to ginger cultivated and processed according to recognized organic farming standards, ensuring it is free from synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, and genetically modified organisms. The "Certified organic" attribute is the primary criterion for inclusion here, distinguishing it from conventional ginger products.

This subcategory is differentiated from its sibling, 0910.11.00.15 "Other," which encompasses all non-organic ginger in its neither crushed nor ground form. While both categories pertain to unprocessed ginger, the presence of official organic certification is the sole determinant for classification under 0910.11.00.10.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise identification of ginger that meets the stringent requirements of organic certification. Importers should be prepared to provide documentation verifying the organic status of the ginger to support this classification.
