Ground Bay Leaves from United States
Finely ground dried bay leaves (Laurus nobilis) used for stews and marinades. Bay leaves are explicitly listed in heading 09.10, and the ground form falls under the tariff item for crushed or ground spices. The product is a single spice, not a mixture, so it remains within the chapter.

Import Tips
• Label the product clearly as 'ground bay leaves' to distinguish from whole leaves, which fall under a different subheading
• Ensure no stems or foreign matter are present, as CBSA may reject contaminated shipments
• Check if the bay leaves are from Laurus nobilis, as other species may not qualify
