HS code for Mustard: 2103.30
Mustard flour and meal and prepared mustard.
Classification of mustard under HS 2103.30
Mustard, in its prepared form or as flour and meal, is classified under HS code 2103.30. Chapter 21 encompasses miscellaneous edible preparations. Heading 2103 is specifically for sauces and preparations therefor, mixed condiments, and mixed seasonings. Subheading 2103.30 covers mustard flour and meal, whether or not prepared. This includes mustard flour that has been defatted or otherwise processed, as well as prepared mustard which is typically a paste made from mustard flour mixed with water, vinegar, salt, sugar, and various spices. The classification is based on the level of processing; once the mustard seeds have been ground into flour or further processed into a condiment, they move from Chapter 12 (oil seeds) to Chapter 21. This code covers a wide variety of prepared mustards, including yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, and whole-grain mustard preparations, provided they are intended for use as a condiment or seasoning in food preparation.

Codes often confused with 2103.30
Common mistake. A frequent point of confusion occurs between HS code 2103.30 and HS code 1207.50. While 2103.30 covers mustard flour and prepared mustard, 1207.50 is strictly for the raw mustard seeds. If the seeds have been crushed into a fine powder (flour), they must be moved to 2103.30. Additionally, some might look toward heading 2005 for vegetables prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar, but mustard is specifically excluded from Chapter 20 when it is prepared as a condiment. Another potential error involves HS code 3301 for essential oils; mustard oil (essential) is classified there, whereas fixed mustard oil is classified under 1514.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
