Heading 2104 — Soups and broths and preparations therefor; homogenised composite food preparations
Chapter 21: Miscellaneous edible preparations
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 210410 when importing or exporting prepared soups and broths, such as canned chicken soup or vegetable broth in cartons. These products are ready for consumption and typically found in grocery stores.
This code specifically covers soups and broths that are either liquid or concentrated, distinguishing them from other food preparations like sauces or seasonings found under different HS codes. For example, HS-6 210420 covers sauces, while HS-6 210390 includes other food preparations not classified elsewhere.
When classifying your products, ensure they are not mixed with other food items that might fall under different headings. For instance, a soup that contains solid pieces of meat or vegetables may still qualify under this HS-6, provided it is primarily a broth.
If you're dealing with powdered soup mixes or dehydrated broths, you may need to look at different codes, such as HS-6 210390, which covers other food preparations. Always check the specific ingredients and packaging to confirm the correct classification.
