Overview
This HTS category, 1702.20.28.90, specifically classifies maple syrup that is not defined as maple sugar and does not fall under the more specific subcategories of blended syrups as outlined in additional U.S. note 4 to chapter 17. It encompasses pure maple syrup, regardless of its packaging or quantity, as long as it meets the definition of syrup derived solely from the sap of maple trees.
The distinction between this category and its sibling, 1702.20.28.10 (Maple sugar), is crucial. Maple sugar is produced by further processing maple syrup to remove a significant portion of its water content, resulting in a granulated or solid form. This classification, however, is reserved for the liquid form of maple product.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of maple syrup under 1702.20.28.90 hinges on its identity as pure maple syrup and its exclusion from specific blended syrup provisions. Customs considerations may involve verifying the source and processing of the product to ensure it meets the criteria for pure maple syrup.
