1702.60.28.00 - Other

This HTS category, 1702.60.28.00, specifically covers blended syrups that fall under the scope of additional U.S. note 4 to chapter 17, but which do not meet the specific criteria for classification under its sibling categories. The defining characteristic is that these blended syrups are "other" than those precisely described in the preceding HTS codes. This implies that while they are indeed blended syrups containing fructose and potentially other sugars, they may differ in their exact composition, processing, or intended use compared to the syrups designated for more specific sibling classifications.

The distinction between this "other" category and its siblings, 1702.60.22.00 and 1702.60.24.00, lies in the specific additional U.S. notes that govern those other categories. HTS code 1702.60.22.00 applies to blended syrups described in general note 15, which typically relates to preferential trade agreements or special import programs. Similarly, 1702.60.24.00 is designated for blended syrups described in additional U.S. note 9, which outlines particular requirements or benefits for entry. Therefore, 1702.60.28.00 acts as a residual category for blended fructose syrups that are subject to additional U.S. note 4 but do not qualify for the more narrowly defined sibling provisions.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 1702.60.28.00. Classification into this code requires a careful review of additional U.S. note 4 to chapter 17 and a thorough analysis to confirm that the blended syrup does not meet the specific import requirements or descriptions of the preceding HTS codes at the same level. This includes ensuring the syrup is not classified under codes related to specific trade agreements, special U.S. notes, or other general provisions that would supersede this "other" designation.
