0910.99.40.00 - Other

This classification, 0910.99.40.00, specifically covers "Other" spices within the broader category of "Other spices." It acts as a residual category for spices not otherwise enumerated or specifically defined in preceding subheadings under Chapter 9, excluding those falling under the distinct classification of "Origanum (Lippia spp.)." The primary scope of this category encompasses a wide array of dried herbs and spice blends that do not fit into more granular descriptions, provided they are not crude or unmanufactured.

Crucially, this classification differentiates itself from its sibling category, 0910.99.20.00, which is designated for "Crude or not manufactured" spices. Therefore, 0910.99.40.00 is intended for spices that have undergone some degree of processing, such as grinding, drying, or being incorporated into a mixture, but are still considered "other" spices due to their unique characteristics or lack of specific HTS provisions. Examples would include common spice blends where no single component dominates and warrants a more specific classification, or individual spices processed beyond their raw state that don't align with other defined categories.
