Trader Joe's Organic Thick & Chunky Salsa - 16 oz

This is the salsa Americans mean by default: tomato-forward, visibly chunky with peppers and onion, thick enough that a chip comes back loaded. TJ's version adds organic certification to the classic formula.

Mild enough for the whole table, sturdy enough for cooking — it doubles as a base for chilaquiles and baked eggs.

• The chips-and-salsa default
• Loaded nachos base
• Spooned over quesadillas and burritos
• Chilaquiles and baked-egg dishes
• Mixed into ground-beef taco filling

This one's a good fit if

• Chips-and-dip households
• Organic-first shoppers
• Classic-salsa loyalists
• Party-platter builders

Organic salsa is a thin category in Korea, and imported chunky salsas skew small and pricey — this is the US-standard jar with the certification included.

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.

1. Choose your option and complete your order. A Personal Customs Code (개인통관고유부호) is required.
2. We purchase your item from a US store and inspect its condition.
3. Your order ships by air and goes through Korean customs.
4. As soon as it clears customs, it's delivered to your door by domestic courier.
