Chapter 21 classification notes

Large catch-all chapter. Food supplements, sports-nutrition products, and functional-food powders typically sit in 2106.90. Many destinations impose a supplement-registration step (e.g., Health Canada NHPD, Singapore HSA).

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Protein powders: 2106.10 (concentrate) or 2106.90 (formulated supplement). Coffee creamers: Chapter 04 if > 60% dairy, Chapter 21 otherwise. Cocoa-based 2106 preparations may shift to Chapter 18 if cocoa-powder-dominant.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
