Heading 2103Sauces 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-6 210330 when importing or exporting prepared mustard, such as yellow mustard in squeeze bottles or jars. This code specifically covers products that are ready for consumption and contain mustard as a primary ingredient.

This HS-6 line distinguishes itself from HS-6 210310, which covers mustard flour and meal. If your product is a dry mustard powder, you would classify it under 210310 instead of 210330.

Prepared mustard under this code can include varieties like Dijon mustard or honey mustard, as long as they are ready to use. If you're shipping a condiment blend that includes mustard but is primarily another ingredient, you may need to consider a different classification.

Understanding the nuances between prepared mustard and mustard flour is crucial for compliance. Ensure your product packaging clearly indicates whether it’s a dry or prepared mustard to avoid misclassification.
