Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not specifically Anaheim or ancho variety
Other crushed or ground Capsicum peppers (e.g., generic chili or cayenne) fall under the broader 0904.21.00 subheading.
If mixed with other spices or seasonings
Blends containing ground ancho with garlic, salt, or other mixtures are classified as mixed seasonings in 0910 rather than pure Capsicum fruits.
If preserved in vinegar, oil, or brine
Pickled or processed ancho peppers shift to Chapter 20 for vegetables prepared or preserved, excluding simply dried/ground forms.
