Import Tips
• Ensure the product is clearly labeled as a steak sauce, not ketchup, to avoid misclassification
• Declare the correct 10-digit tariff code 2103.20.90.00 on customs documents
• Verify that the sauce does not contain meat or meat by-products exceeding 20% by weight, which would shift classification to Chapter 16
