Last updated: April 2026 dataPrepared baking powder — a leavening blend typically combining sodium bicarbonate, an acid salt, and a starch carrier — enters the US under a single tariff line (2102300000), with Mexico the leading supplier. Classification questions most often arise when a product contains additional functional ingredients (such as emulsifiers or enzymes) that could shift it to a different heading. FDA regulates baking powder as a food ingredient with a standard of identity under 21 CFR, requiring specific compositional compliance for products labeled as 'baking powder.' Importers should verify that foreign formulations meet the US standard before entry to avoid detention or relabeling requirements.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. FDA's standard of identity for baking powder (21 CFR 136 and related regulations) specifies minimum leavening acid and bicarbonate content. Imported products labeled as 'baking powder' must conform to this standard. Products that deviate in composition — for example, by using non-standard acid salts or omitting starch — may need to be labeled differently (e.g., as a 'leavening blend') to avoid misbranding violations.
Potentially, yes. If a product's essential character is determined by a functional additive rather than its leavening function, CBP may classify it outside heading 2102. Importers introducing multi-functional leavening blends should request a binding ruling from CBP to confirm classification before commercial shipments begin, particularly if the product contains ingredients that could place it under Chapter 35 (enzymes) or elsewhere.
