1702.40.40.00 - Other 🖩

HTS Code 1702.40.40.00 specifically classifies glucose and glucose syrup that contain between 20% and less than 50% by weight of fructose in their dry state. This category is distinct from other sugars and syrups covered under heading 1702, particularly in its defined fructose content range. It excludes invert sugar, which is a mixture of glucose and fructose produced by the hydrolysis of sucrose.

This classification is part of a broader category for "Other sugars, including chemically pure lactose, maltose, glucose and fructose, in solid form; sugar syrups not containing added flavoring or coloring matter; artificial honey, whether or not mixed with natural honey; caramel." Within this heading, 1702.40 is further refined to distinguish specific types of glucose and glucose syrups based on their fructose content.

As a leaf node, 1702.40.40.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies on accurately determining the dry weight percentage of fructose in the glucose syrup. Importers must ensure that laboratory analysis confirms the fructose content falls within the specified range of 20% to under 50% to correctly apply this HTS code.
