The specific 6-digit code, 2106, encompasses food preparations not elsewhere specified or included. Supplements - Dietary, Food, Protein, Health fall under this category due to their specialized nutritional content and purpose of usage.

The packaging varies from plastic or glass bottles for liquids and jars or resealable bags for powders. Shipping requirements mainly involve careful handling to prevent damage and storage in cool, dry conditions to maintain product integrity. Quality standards for these supplements are stringent, often requiring certification from regulatory bodies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). The description of these products and their classification under HS Code 2106 aligns with international trade classification systems and supports customs classification and trade documentation needs.
