Frequently asked questions
What is 'Europe quality' cumin?
A cleaner grade (typically 99–99.5 % purity) with lower admixture and residues, suited to strict food-safety markets; it trades above Singapore quality.
What is the HS code for cumin seed?
HS 0909.31 at six digits. The full tariff line and the duty depend on your market — confirm both for your import.
