Last updated: April 2026 dataItaly leads US imports of tomato sauces under this heading, supplying premium passata, marinara, and specialty tomato-based products that compete with domestic production and lower-cost imports from Canada and Costa Rica. The US tariff schedule distinguishes ketchup (2103202000) from other tomato sauces, and further subdivides non-ketchup sauces by certified organic status (2103204010) and container size (2103204020 for containers under 1.4 kg, 2103204040 for 1.4 kg or more). FDA regulates these products as food, and ketchup has a US standard of identity specifying minimum tomato soluble solids content. Importers of certified organic tomato sauces must ensure USDA National Organic Program equivalency or certification is documented at entry.

Ketchup (2103202000) must meet FDA's standard of identity, which requires a minimum level of tomato soluble solids and specific seasoning. Products that do not meet this standard — including thinner tomato sauces, marinara, arrabbiata, or tomato-based cooking sauces — are classified as 'other tomato sauces' under the remaining lines. The distinction matters because ketchup and other tomato sauces carry different duty rates.
For non-ketchup tomato sauces, the US schedule splits by pack size: containers holding less than 1.4 kg fall under 2103204020, while containers of 1.4 kg or more fall under 2103204040. This distinction is common in trade between retail-pack and food-service-pack shipments. Importers should confirm net weight per container on commercial invoices and packing lists to ensure the correct line is declared.
