Overview
This HTS category, 1702.90.64.00, specifically covers "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," that are further defined by Additional U.S. Note 7 to Chapter 17. This classification is for certain articles containing over 65 percent by dry weight of sugar, entered pursuant to specific provisions outlined in Additional U.S. Note 2 to Chapter 17. These provisions often relate to specific types of confectionery or food preparations meeting defined sugar content thresholds and intended for particular uses or markets.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 1702.90.68.00 ("Other"), is critical. While both fall under "Other" within the broader context of "Other sugars," 1702.90.64.00 is a more precise classification dictated by specific entry requirements and definitional criteria referenced in U.S. notes. The sibling category likely encompasses a broader range of "other" sugar-containing products not specifically delineated by these U.S. notes. Therefore, importers must carefully consult Additional U.S. Notes 2 and 7 to Chapter 17 to determine if their goods meet the precise criteria for classification under 1702.90.64.00, rather than the more general "Other" category.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification ends with 1702.90.64.00, meaning that goods fitting the description and meeting the conditions of the referenced U.S. notes are definitively classified here. The focus for importers is to ensure their product's composition, sugar content (specifically over 65 percent by dry weight), and compliance with the stipulated provisions of Additional U.S. Note 7 to Chapter 17 are thoroughly documented and meet the entry requirements for this specific classification.
