Dried herbs will last from 6 months up to three years.
Spices however can last much longer, especially if they are not ground.
Whole black pepper or whole seeds used as spice, will always last longer than the ground up varieties.
As time passes, spices will become less potent. There are no problems using 15 year old Black Pepper, but nothing tastes and smells quite like freshly ground fresh Black Peppers.
