1702.40.24.00 - Described in additional U.S. note 9 to this chapter and entered pursuant to its provisions

This classification, HTS 1702.40.24.00, specifically designates blended syrups that fall under the provisions of additional U.S. note 9 to Chapter 17 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. These syrups are characterized by their specific composition and are intended for entry into the United States under the conditions outlined in that particular note. The description "Described in additional U.S. note 9 to this chapter and entered pursuant to its provisions" signifies that the precise definition and eligibility criteria for these blended syrups are detailed within that ancillary legal text.

Distinguishing this subcategory from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. HTS 1702.40.22.00 covers blended syrups that are described and entered pursuant to general note 15, implying a different set of regulatory or trade provisions. In contrast, 1702.40.28.00 represents "Other" blended syrups within this particular granular grouping, meaning they do not meet the specific requirements of note 9 or note 15. Therefore, importers must carefully review additional U.S. note 9 to determine if their blended syrup product precisely matches the defined criteria.

As HTS 1702.40.24.00 is a leaf node, it does not have further subcategories. Classification at this level is definitive, relying entirely on whether the imported blended syrup meets the specific conditions stipulated in additional U.S. note 9. Importers should consult this note to confirm the precise sugar content, blend ratios, and any other defining characteristics that qualify a syrup for this specific tariff treatment.
