Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 210390 when importing or exporting sauces and mixed seasonings that don't fit into more specific categories. For example, a shipment of a specialty sauce blend that combines various flavors without being classified as a traditional condiment would fall under this code.

This code is distinct from HS-6 2103XX, which covers specific types of sauces like tomato or soy sauce. If your product is a unique blend of spices and flavors, such as a gourmet dipping sauce or a specialty salad dressing, 210390 is likely the right classification.

Products under HS-6 210390 include a variety of sauces and preparations that may not be easily categorized elsewhere. These can range from unique salad dressings to specialty marinades that combine multiple ingredients for a distinct flavor profile.

When considering this code, think about the end-use and composition of your product. If your sauce includes mixed spices or is designed for culinary applications, it likely qualifies under this HS-6.
