1701.91.48.00 - Other 🖩

This classification covers sugars that are not pure cane or beet sugar and do not fall under specific headings for flavored or colored sugars. It specifically applies to articles containing over 65 percent by dry weight of sugar, as defined by additional U.S. note 2 to chapter 17. These are typically products where sugar is the predominant ingredient by weight, and while they may contain added flavoring, they do not contain added coloring or are not specifically designated under the sibling categories.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. HTS code 1701.91.42.00 is for articles described under general note 15, often referring to specific trade agreements or special provisions, while 1701.91.44.00 is for items meeting the criteria of additional U.S. note 7, which outlines specific conditions for certain sugar-containing products. This current category, 1701.91.48.00, is for those articles that are predominantly sugar but do not meet the specific requirements of those other notes and are not simply flavored or colored sugars as per other subheadings.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification hinges on whether the article meets the "over 65 percent by dry weight of sugar" criteria and is not specifically covered by the preceding or sibling HTS codes. Examples might include certain candies, confectionery items, or sugar-based preparations that fit the sugar content threshold but do not contain added coloring or qualify for other preferential trade or specific tariff treatment.
