1702.40.22.00 - Described in general note 15 of the tariff schedule and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS category, 1702.40.22.00, encompasses blended syrups that fall under the specific provisions outlined in Additional U.S. Note 4 to Chapter 17 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. These syrups are characterized by their composition of sugars and are entered into the customs territory according to the detailed requirements and stipulations set forth in this particular note. The classification hinges on meeting the precise definitions and conditions stipulated within Additional U.S. Note 4, which govern the types of blends, their origins, and any accompanying documentation required for entry.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Sibling 1702.40.24.00, for instance, covers blended syrups described in Additional U.S. Note 9 to Chapter 17, indicating that the governing regulatory framework and specific product criteria are different. Similarly, sibling 1702.40.28.00 represents a broader "other" category for blended syrups not meeting the specific criteria of the preceding subheadings. Therefore, classification under 1702.40.22.00 specifically requires adherence to the stipulations of Additional U.S. Note 4, differentiating it from syrups governed by other specific U.S. notes within Chapter 17.

As this classification is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 1702.40.22.00. All goods meeting the criteria of Additional U.S. Note 4 are classified here directly. Examples of products that might fall under this heading include specialized syrup blends used in food manufacturing or beverage production, provided they satisfy the detailed compositional and entry requirements of Additional U.S. Note 4. Importers must carefully consult this note to ensure their products align precisely with the defined parameters.
