HS 2106.90is the 6-digit international code, the same in every country. Each destination extends it to its own longer code, usually 8 or 10 digits, and that fuller code is what sets the buyer's import duty. Look it up in the destination's official tariff finder:
Shipping somewhere else? The ITC Market Access Map covers the tariff and full code for almost every importing country. However you find it, the final classification and code are the exporter's and importer's responsibility, so treat this as a starting point and confirm the full code with the destination customs or your forwarder before you ship.

Classification risk · high
Catch-all code. Destination customs frequently reclassify to a more specific heading.
2106.90 is the residual code for food preparations not elsewhere specified. Exporters use it for innovative products that don't fit a precise heading: plant-based meats, protein powders, functional foods, novel ingredients. The risk: destination customs disagree with the classification and reclassify to a code carrying higher duty. File an advance ruling in your top destination markets to lock in classification before scaling shipments.
Common alternative classifications
For binding classification, file an advance ruling with your destination country’s customs authority (HS 2106.90).
Indicative classification. HS classification is decided by the destination country's customs authority. For binding confirmation, file an advance ruling. Most major markets (US, UK, EU, Singapore, Malaysia, UAE) offer free or low-cost advance ruling programmes valid for 3-5 years.
