Culinary Mustard Powder from Japan
Culinary mustard powder is a fine, versatile powder made from mixed mustard seeds, intended for home cooks to prepare mustards, marinades, and spice rubs. It is a pure ground product with no added liquids, preservatives, or flavorings, distinguishing it from prepared mustard. As an unprepared mustard flour, it falls under tariff item 2103.30.10.

Import Tips
• Confirm the product label lists only mustard seeds as the ingredient—any added turmeric, starch, or spices would reclassify it as a preparation
• Keep a sample or photo of the retail packaging for CBSA inspection to show it is not a ready-to-use condiment
• Check if the mixed seed varieties affect the tariff classification; pure mustard flour is safe under 2103.30.10
