4 six-digit codes · Heading 3 of 6 in Chapter 21 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
This page explains what each subheading means and where nearby foods belong.
No heading in Chapter 21 is cut finer than 2103. Its 4 six-digit codes, 210310 to 210390, are the most any single heading in the chapter carries — “Sauces and preparations therefor; mixed condiments and mixed seasonings, mustard flour and meal and prepared mustard” is where this chapter gets specific. The heading is number 3 of 6 in Chapter 21, Miscellaneous edible preparations, which runs to 16 six-digit codes in all.
What HS code 2103 covers
Heading 2103 is the home of table sauces and flavour mixes. If a product is a sauce, a condiment or a seasoning blend, this is the first heading to check. Prepared mustard and mustard flour sit here too.
You may also see it written as HSN code 2103 on Indian paperwork. It is the same heading. Countries can add their own extra digits beyond the shared codes, so always check the national tariff before you file.
The heading belongs to Chapter 21 miscellaneous edible preparations, which gathers ready-made food products that do not fit in the other food chapters.
HS 2103 subheadings: soya sauce, ketchup, mustard and other sauces
Each code has a simple meaning. Here is the plain-language version of the list above.
To pick the right code, start with the main type of sauce. Soya sauce goes to 210310. A tomato-based sauce goes to 210320. A sauce that is not soya, not tomato and not mustard goes to 210390, and so do mixed condiments and mixed seasonings.
In short, 210390 is the catch-all code for sauces and blends that match none of the first three. If you are still unsure, the HS code classifier can help you narrow it down.
- 210310: soya sauce
- 210320: tomato ketchup and other tomato sauces
- 210330: mustard flour, mustard meal and prepared mustard
- 210390: other sauces, mixed condiments and mixed seasonings
Related headings: soups, food preparations and more
Some foods look close to sauces but belong elsewhere. That is the main difference between the two headings: 2103 is for sauces and seasonings, and 2104 is for soups and broths.
Food preparations that are not named anywhere else go to heading 2106. Coffee and tea extracts are in 2101. Yeasts and baking powders are in 2102. Ice cream and other edible ice are in 2105.
