1702.30.28.00 - Other

HTS code 1702.30.28.00 specifically covers "Other" blended syrups that fall under the broader category of glucose and glucose syrup not containing fructose or containing less than 20% fructose by weight. These syrups are characterized by being a mixture of ingredients, but unlike the preceding sibling categories, they do not meet the specific requirements outlined in general note 15 or additional U.S. note 9 to chapter 17. The "Other" designation indicates that these blended syrups do not qualify for preferential treatment or specific entry provisions linked to those other notes.

To classify a product under 1702.30.28.00, it must first meet the general criteria for glucose and glucose syrups, meaning they are derived from starch and primarily composed of glucose. The key differentiating factor from sibling categories 1702.30.22.00 and 1702.30.24.00 lies in the absence of specific declarations or compliance with particular conditions stipulated by those tariff notes. Therefore, importers must carefully review the composition and any accompanying documentation to ensure their blended syrup does not fit into the more specifically defined sibling categories.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories beneath 1702.30.28.00. This means that any product falling into this classification has reached the most detailed level of detail for this particular tariff item. Classification at this level requires a thorough understanding of the definitions of glucose and glucose syrup, as well as the specific exclusions and inclusions outlined in the broader headings and subheadings within Chapter 17, particularly regarding blended syrups.
