Ground Sumac Spice from Germany
Ground sumac is derived from the dried and ground berries of the Rhus coriaria shrub, offering a tangy, lemony flavor for Middle Eastern dishes like salads and meats. It qualifies under HTS 0910.99.60.00 as an 'other spice' not matching specific headings like 0910.30 for turmeric.

Import Tips
• Test for natural tartaric acid content to prevent confusion with adulterated citric acid additives
• Declare as 'ground sumac berries' not 'sumac extract' to stay in spice heading; extracts fall elsewhere
