Specifically, CBP officials at US airports have asked “are you carrying Jeera”? Please provide advice from trusted US sources as this is bound to cause confusion and frustration for travelers from India!
See description below:

No, it’s generally not allowed to bring seeds, including jeera (cumin) seeds, into the U.S. for personal use because they are considered restricted agricultural products by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). While the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) allows dry spices in carry-on and checked bags, seeds are typically restricted by the USDA. Bringing restricted items can lead to confiscation, and you must declare all agricultural products upon arrival to avoid issues.
