1701.91.52.00 - Described in general note 15 of the tariff schedule and entered pursuant to its provisions 🖩

This HTS classification, 1701.91.52.00, pertains to cane or beet sugar, in solid form, that has been chemically purified to form sucrose. Crucially, these sugars contain added flavoring matter, and may or may not also contain added coloring matter. The goods classified here are further defined as articles containing over 10 percent by dry weight of sugar, which are specifically described and entered pursuant to additional U.S. note 3 to chapter 17 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. This note provides specific criteria for identifying which sugar-containing articles fall under this particular provision, ensuring a precise classification based on their composition and intended use.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 1701.91.54.00, which covers articles described in additional U.S. note 8 to chapter 17. While both relate to sugar-containing articles, note 8 likely pertains to different product characteristics or compositional thresholds. Furthermore, 1701.91.58.00 represents a residual "Other" category, meaning any sugar-containing articles that do not meet the specific criteria for 1701.91.52.00 or 1701.91.54.00 would be classified there. The inclusion of added flavoring matter is a key determinant for classification under 1701.91.52.00.

As 1701.91.52.00 is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes rests entirely on meeting the detailed requirements outlined in the general note and additional U.S. note 3. Examples of products that might be classified here include certain types of confectioneries, flavored sugar syrups in solid form, or sugar-based preparations where the primary characteristic is the added flavoring and the high sugar content, as defined by the regulations.
