1702.30.40 - Other

This HTS category, 1702.30.40, encompasses "Other" sugars and sugar syrups that fall within the broader scope of Chapter 17, specifically relating to sugars and sugar confectionery. It applies to those sugars and syrups not otherwise specified by preceding headings, but which are solid forms of chemically pure lactose, maltose, glucose, and fructose, as well as artificial honey and caramel. The key characteristic is that these are not defined by specific fructose content thresholds that would place them in other glucose and glucose syrup categories.

This category serves as a residual classification for certain sugars and sugar syrups. It is distinct from the "Blended syrups described in additional U.S. note 4 to chapter 17" sibling category, which specifically addresses blended syrups that meet particular criteria outlined in U.S. trade notes. Therefore, this "Other" classification applies to non-blended, solid sugars and syrups that do not fit into more specifically defined subheadings.

The subcategories under this heading further refine the classification. "Glucose syrup" will capture liquid glucose preparations not otherwise classified, while "Other" will encompass remaining sugars and syrups that meet the general description of this heading but do not fit the narrower definition of glucose syrup. This hierarchical structure ensures precise categorization based on the specific type and form of the sugary product.
