Last updated: August 2026 dataFDA oversight governs the import of homogenized composite food preparations, which are finely blended mixtures of two or more ingredients—typically proteins, vegetables, fruits, or fats—processed to a uniform consistency for infant or young-child feeding. The US tariff schedule subdivides this heading into three 10-digit lines: preparations covered under Chapter Note 3 (2104200002), those put up for retail sale for infant dietary purposes (2104201000), and those for retail sale suitable for young children (2104205000). Classification hinges on the intended consumer age group and retail packaging format, making label review a critical step before entry. Importers should confirm that labeling, nutrient content claims, and any infant formula components comply with FDA's specific requirements for foods intended for infants and young children.

The split turns on intended use and retail presentation: 2104200002 covers preparations falling under Chapter Note 3, 2104201000 covers retail-packaged preparations for infant dietary purposes, and 2104205000 covers retail-packaged preparations suitable for young children. Correct classification requires reviewing the product's label claims, target age group, and whether it meets the Chapter Note 3 definition.
FDA has jurisdiction over imported homogenized composite food preparations intended for infants and young children. Shipments are subject to FDA admissibility review, and products making infant formula claims face additional regulatory requirements. Admissibility and classification can be complex; consult a licensed customs broker or FDA prior to importation.
