HS-4 · Heading
2103 — Sauces and preparations therefor; mixed condiments and mixed seasonings, mustard flour and meal and prepared mustard
Chapter 21: Miscellaneous edible preparations
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 2103 when importing sauces, such as soy sauce or tomato ketchup, and mixed condiments. For example, if you're shipping a batch of soy sauce in 5-gallon containers, this code is applicable.
To distinguish between the subheadings, consider the primary ingredient. HS-6 210310 is specific to soy sauces, while HS-6 210320 covers tomato-based sauces. If your product contains both soy and tomato, you’ll need to assess the dominant ingredient.
If your shipment includes mustard products, choose HS-6 210330 for mustard flour or prepared mustard. For mixed sauces that don’t fit neatly into the other categories, use HS-6 210390 for mixed condiments and seasonings.
When evaluating your product, check the packaging and labeling. If your item is a blend of various seasonings without a dominant flavor, HS-6 210390 might be the right choice.
