1702.20.40.50 - Other

This HTS category, 1702.20.40.50, specifically classifies maple syrup that is not certified organic. It falls under the broader heading for maple syrup, distinguishing itself from organic varieties. The parent category encompasses all maple syrup, and this subcategory isolates the non-organic product for tariff purposes.

The key differentiator here is the absence of organic certification. Unlike its sibling category, 1702.20.40.40, which focuses on packaging size (containers over 5 kg), this classification is driven by the production method and its adherence to organic standards. Therefore, any maple syrup not bearing a recognized organic certification will be classified under this code, regardless of its packaging.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. The classification hinges solely on the presence or absence of organic certification, making the distinction from the certified organic category straightforward for customs purposes.
