HTS heading 0906 is a four-digit product category for cinnamon and cinnamon-tree flowers. It groups these goods together before the tariff schedule makes finer distinctions. The category can cover cinnamon in different physical forms, such as whole pieces, bark, flowers, or ground and crushed material, depending on the applicable subheading.
To reach a specific eight-digit HTSUS code, start with the product’s objective facts: what plant material it is, whether it is cinnamon or cinnamon-tree flowers, and whether it is whole, broken, crushed, or ground. Read the subheadings beneath 0906 in order, then confirm any additional U.S. statistical distinctions at the eight-digit level. Classification may require customs-broker or other professional judgment when the product is blended, processed, flavored, or described inconsistently.
What to check
- Confirm that the merchandise is cinnamon or cinnamon-tree flowers, rather than another spice or botanical product.
- Record the product’s physical form at import, including whether it is whole, broken, crushed, or ground.
- Compare the product description and specifications with every relevant subheading under 0906 before choosing the eight-digit code.
- Check whether processing, flavoring, blending, packaging, or mixtures change the applicable classification.
- Verify the current HTSUS wording, statistical suffix, and any applicable legal notes or binding rulings before entry.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
