BBQ Rub Seasoning Blend from Mexico

BBQ Rub Seasoning Blend is a smoky mix of paprika, garlic, onion, brown sugar, chili powder, and black pepper for grilling meats. It falls under tariff item 0910.91.00 as a spice mixture per Note 1(b), provided the brown sugar content does not alter its essential character as a spice blend. The inclusion of sugar is incidental and does not make it a condiment.

Import Tips

• Confirm that brown sugar is a minor component (typically under 20%) to maintain spice character

• Clearly state the product as a spice rub on customs documents, and avoid labeling it as a sauce or marinade
