HS code for Prepared mustard: 2103.30
Mustard flour and meal and prepared mustard.
Classification of prepared mustard under HS 2103.30
The classification of prepared mustard under HS code 2103.30 is determined by the processing of mustard seeds into a consumable condiment or flour. Chapter 21 covers miscellaneous edible preparations, and heading 2103 is dedicated to sauces and mixed condiments. Subheading 2103.30 specifically encompasses mustard flour and meal, whether or not prepared, as well as prepared mustard. Prepared mustard is generally defined as a mixture of mustard flour with water, vinegar, or other liquids, often with added salt, sugar, spices, or other flavorings. The inclusion of mustard flour in this code is a unique feature, as it groups the semi-processed ingredient with the final retail product. The classification remains consistent regardless of the mustard's heat level or specific variety, such as Dijon, yellow, or spicy brown, provided the base is derived from the seeds of the Sinapis or Brassica genera. This code is vital for distinguishing mustard from other compound sauces and condiments in the global market.

Codes often confused with 2103.30
Common mistake. Prepared mustard is often misclassified under HS code 1207.50, which is reserved for raw mustard seeds. Another common error is using HS code 2103.90, which is the residual category for other sauces and mixed condiments like ketchup or mayonnaise. If the product is a mustard-based salad dressing with a high oil content, it might be better suited for 2103.90, but pure prepared mustard always belongs in 2103.30.

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).
