Trader Joe's Organic Kansas City Style BBQ Sauce - 19 oz

Kansas City is the BBQ style most people picture when they picture BBQ sauce: thick, glossy, tomato-and-molasses sweet with a smoky backbone. This is that profile in a certified-organic recipe — the crowd-pleaser of American sauce traditions.

Its thickness is the point: it clings to ribs, caramelizes on the grill, and holds up as a dip without dripping away.

• Ribs and grilled chicken glaze
• Pulled-pork sandwiches
• BBQ chicken pizza
• Air-fryer wings and nugget dip
• Samgyeopsal glaze for a US-style twist

This one's a good fit if

• Classic-BBQ flavor fans
• Home grillers and camp cooks
• Organic-first shoppers
• Sweet-and-smoky lovers

Korean-market BBQ sauces skew thin and mild; the thick KC style — organic, no less — is a direct-import category. It's the taste of American backyard cookouts in one bottle.

A Trader Joe's store exclusive with no official Korean distribution.

Shipping is free on every order, with no minimum. There are no handling fees, no customs processing charges, and no hidden costs added at checkout. What you see is what you pay.

Orders are dispatched within 1 to 2 business days of purchase. A tracking number is sent to your email once your order is on its way.

All orders are processed as personal-use overseas purchases, which means they clear Korean customs without requiring KC certification. Shipments are handled using your Personal Customs Clearance Code (PCCC) for full transparency, and you can track your parcel through the Korea Customs Service UNI-PASS portal at any time.

Orders valued under USD 200 from the United States qualify for duty-free clearance under Korea's simplified customs scheme. In the unlikely event that any order encounters a customs issue, we will issue a full refund without question.

If you do not yet have a Personal Customs Clearance Code (PCCC), you can get one free of charge in under five minutes at unipass.customs.go.kr.

Is this authentic?

Yes. Every item is purchased directly from Trader Joe's stores in the US, inspected, and then shipped — 100% authentic.

Why can't I buy this in Korea?

Trader Joe's has no official stores or online shop in Korea. Their products are sold only in US stores, which is exactly what we bring to you through direct import.

What about the expiration date?

Because we purchase every item from the US only after you place your order, we ship products with plenty of shelf life remaining. The exact best-by date is printed on the package.

2. We purchase your item from a US store and inspect its condition.
