What HS 0906.19 covers
This HS code covers cinnamon and cinnamon-tree flowers, other than Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume), in their uncrushed and unground state. This primarily includes Cassia cinnamon varieties from sources like Indonesia, China, and Vietnam, which are more widely traded and have a stronger, spicier flavor profile compared to Ceylon cinnamon. These products are crucial for the global food industry, used extensively in baking, confectionery, beverages, and savory dishes. Major exporters are the producing countries themselves, while importers span across North America, Europe, and Asia, catering to both industrial and retail markets. Trade focuses on bulk quantities, consistent quality, and competitive pricing. The market is influenced by harvest volumes, consumer demand for spices, and global economic conditions. Cinnamon-tree flowers, though a smaller volume, are also traded for their aromatic properties, often in niche markets.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
