Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify container net weight is under 1.4 kg per unit to qualify for this subheading; larger packs shift to 2103.90.90.90
• Provide detailed ingredient lists and tomato content declaration to distinguish from Chapter 20 tomato pastes
• Label as 'sauce preparation' if not fully cooked to avoid reclassification as finished food under 2104
