0910.99.06.00 - Thyme 🖩

This HTS classification covers thyme, a fragrant herb commonly used for culinary and medicinal purposes. It encompasses dried thyme leaves and flowering tops, whether whole, cut, crushed, or ground. The primary use of this product is as a spice to add flavor to food.

This specific subheading is differentiated from its sibling, 0910.99.07.00, which exclusively covers bay leaves. While both are aromatic herbs used in cooking, thyme and bay leaves are distinct botanical species with different flavor profiles and physical appearances, necessitating their separate classification.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 0910.99.06.00 is definitive for thyme. It is important to ensure that the product is indeed thyme and not another herb, and that it falls under the broader category of "other spices" within Chapter 9, which deals with coffee, tea, maté and spices.
