Other This subheading does not include frozen mandarin segments where the membranes have been chemically removed (in general, heading 2008). General The classification of spices which have been mixed together or have had other substances added to them is determined by note 1 to this chapter. In accordance with this note, mixtures of spices with other substances, not having the essential character of spices, are excluded from this chapter. They fall in heading 2103 if they constitute mixed condiments or mixed seasonings. In the case of mixtures used directly for flavouring drinks or in the preparation of extracts intended for the manufacture of drinks, composed of spices or plants, parts of plants, seeds, fruits or nuts (whole, sliced, crushed or powdered) or species included in other chapters (Chapters 7, 11, 12, etc.), see the HS General Explanatory Note to this chapter, sixth and seventh paragraphs. Debris and waste of spices, which inevitably arise during harvesting and subsequent working (for example, sorting or drying) or during storage operations or transportation, are classified as ‘neither crushed nor ground’, except where a product is identifiable (for example, by reason of its homogeneous composition) as having undergone an intentional crushing operation. The expression ‘crushed or ground’ used in various headings of this chapter does not cover products cut into pieces.
