Ground Saffron Threads from United States
Powder from Crocus sativus stigmas, a premium spice used for paella and rice dishes. Although saffron is listed in heading 09.10, the ground form falls under the tariff item for crushed or ground spices. The product is pure and not mixed, so it retains classification within the chapter.
