1702.60.24.00 - Described in additional U.S. note 9 to this chapter and entered pursuant to its provisions

This classification, HTS 1702.60.24.00, specifically designates certain blended syrups that fall under the broader category of "Other fructose and fructose syrup, containing in the dry state more than 50 percent by weight of fructose, excluding invert sugar." The defining characteristic of this subcategory is its adherence to the stipulations outlined in additional U.S. note 9 to chapter 17. This note provides crucial criteria for determining eligibility for this specific classification, often related to specific import conditions or trade agreements.

Unlike its sibling category, 1702.60.22.00, which is governed by general note 15 of the tariff schedule, this classification is tied to a more narrowly defined set of conditions under additional U.S. note 9. This distinction is critical for accurate customs declaration, as goods classified under 1702.60.22.00 would be subject to different entry requirements or duty rates compared to those falling under 1702.60.24.00. The "Other" sibling category, 1702.60.28.00, serves as a residual classification for blended fructose syrups that do not meet the specific criteria of either note 15 or note 9.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Therefore, the classification rests entirely on whether the blended fructose syrup meets the precise requirements articulated in additional U.S. note 9 to chapter 17. Importers must meticulously review and comply with the provisions of this note to correctly classify their goods under HTS 1702.60.24.00.
