1702.30.40.45 - Certified organic

This classification covers glucose syrup that is certified as organic. Glucose syrup is a liquid sweetener derived from starch, typically corn, wheat, or potato. For this specific HTS code, the glucose syrup must meet the rigorous standards and certification requirements of organic production, meaning it has been produced without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 1702.30.40.65, which also covers glucose syrup but does not have the specific "certified organic" designation. The key differentiator here is the organic certification, which is a verifiable attribute that dictates the production methods and sourcing of the product. The "Other" parent category at 1702.30.40 encompasses various forms of glucose syrup that do not fall into more specific subheadings.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is final for glucose syrup that is both certified organic and meets the criteria of being a glucose syrup not containing fructose or containing less than 20 percent by weight of fructose in the dry state. This ensures that only products meeting these precise organic and compositional requirements are classified under this subheading.
