1702.90.20.00 - Other

This HTS category, 1702.90.20.00, specifically covers "Other" sugars, syrups, and artificial honey that fall within the broader scope of Chapter 17 but are not otherwise enumerated. This classification is for products that are derived from sugar cane or sugar beets, contain soluble non-sugar solids equal to 6 percent or less by weight of the total soluble solids, and are not more specifically defined by the preceding sibling categories. This includes, but is not limited to, specific blends of sugar and sugar syrups where the dry state contains 50 percent or more fructose.

The distinguishing feature of this category from its siblings lies in the absence of the specific conditions outlined in other subheadings. For instance, sibling category 1702.90.05.00 applies to goods covered by general note 15, while 1702.90.10.00 pertains to goods described under additional U.S. note 5. This current classification is for products that do not meet those particular provisions, representing a residual category for otherwise unclassified sugars and syrups meeting the stipulated quantitative criteria for soluble non-sugar solids and fructose content.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 1702.90.20.00 is determined by the specific composition and origin of the sugar or syrup product, ensuring it meets the general requirements of Chapter 17, the specific criteria for "other sugars" in solid form or syrups, and the quantitative limits for soluble non-sugar solids and fructose content, while not falling under any more specific or provision-bound sibling classifications.
