Import Tips
• Confirm the powder is not mixed with other ingredients that would shift classification to 2103.90.20
• Provide documentation that the product is derived from brewer's yeast and is nonalcoholic
• Be prepared to demonstrate the powder is not a finished sauce to justify the 'other' classification
