HTS heading 0907 is a four-digit category for cloves, including whole clove fruit, individual cloves, and clove stems. It groups these products by their basic identity as cloves, rather than by brand, packaging, or intended customer.
To reach the specific 8-digit HTSUS code, review the product’s detailed description and compare it with the subheadings and statistical subdivisions under 0907. The narrower code may distinguish the form or type of clove product, such as whole cloves versus stems, so use the product’s physical characteristics and condition—not marketing terms—as the starting point.
What to check
- Confirm that the goods are actually cloves, clove fruit, or clove stems, rather than a blend, extract, oil, or prepared food containing cloves.
- Identify the exact form being imported: whole fruit, individual cloves, stems, ground material, or another preparation.
- Check whether the product is mixed with other ingredients or has been further processed, because it may belong outside heading 0907.
- Match the commercial invoice, packaging, product specification, and physical goods to the wording of the candidate 8-digit code.
- Verify the current HTSUS subheading and statistical suffix, and seek a customs broker’s or classification specialist’s judgment when the product description does not fit one choice clearly.

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.
