1701.91.58.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 1701.91.58.00, encompasses other forms of cane or beet sugar, and chemically pure sucrose in solid form, that contain added flavoring matter, irrespective of whether coloring matter is also present. These sugars are specifically distinguished by the presence of added flavorings, differentiating them from plain sugars or those with only coloring. The critical criterion for inclusion here is the presence of flavoring agents, which are intended to impart a specific taste profile to the sucrose.

Within the context of HTS Chapter 17, this classification is further refined by the requirement that the articles must contain over 10 percent by dry weight of sugar, as stipulated in Additional U.S. Note 3 to Chapter 17. This note provides specific guidelines for determining the sugar content of various composite articles. This category is distinct from its siblings, 1701.91.52.00 and 1701.91.54.00, which are defined by their compliance with specific general or additional U.S. notes, suggesting specialized trade provisions or exemptions rather than the inherent characteristics of the flavoring itself.

As a leaf node, this classification has no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 1701.91.58.00 rests entirely on confirming the presence of added flavoring matter and ensuring the product meets the over 10 percent dry weight sugar threshold outlined in the relevant U.S. notes. Examples of products that might fall into this category include flavored sucrose granules or powders intended for culinary use, or specialized sweetener blends where flavoring is a primary component alongside the sucrose.
