1702.60.40 - Other

This HTS category, 1702.60.40, encompasses "Other" sugars and syrups falling under the broader heading of other fructose and fructose syrups. Specifically, it covers those fructose-based syrups that contain more than 50 percent by weight of fructose in their dry state, but exclude invert sugar. This classification serves as a residual category for fructose syrups that do not meet the specific criteria of other subheadings within this chapter.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, "Blended syrups described in additional U.S. note 4 to chapter 17." While both deal with syrups, this category is strictly for other fructose and fructose syrups meeting the specified fructose content, whereas the sibling category is for blended syrups defined by specific additional U.S. notes related to their composition. This distinction relies on the precise composition and the application of specific U.S. notes for classification.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. The subcategory "Syrup" refers to liquid forms of these fructose-rich products. The further subdivision, 1702.60.40.90, designated as "Other," acts as a residual within this specific classification, capturing any remaining fructose syrups that fit the general description but do not qualify for more specific sub-classifications.
