U.S. imports of soy sauce (HS 210310) totaled $9.3M in April 2026, traded with 31 countries.
Fermented and chemically produced soy sauces enter the US under a single 10-digit line (2103100000) and are subject to FDA oversight as a processed condiment, including labeling requirements for allergens given soy's status as a major food allergen under US law. China and Japan are the dominant suppliers, together accounting for the bulk of US import volume across both traditional brewed and industrial-grade formats. Importers should be aware that soy sauce produced in China may be subject to Section 301 tariff measures, making supplier-of-origin documentation and first-sale valuation particularly important for cost management. Sodium content and fermentation method (brewed versus hydrolyzed) can also affect FDA labeling compliance.
