1704.90.35.90 - Other

This HTS subcategory, 1704.90.35.90, encompasses "Other" confections or sweetmeats ready for consumption that are not specifically classified under previous headings within the "Sugar confectionery (including white chocolate), not containing cocoa" chapter. It serves as a residual category for sweet edible products that primarily consist of sugar or other sweetening matter and are intended for direct consumption without further preparation, and which do not fall into more specific classifications based on their form, ingredients, or packaging.

The key distinction of this category from its sibling, "Put up for retail sale" (1704.90.35.80), lies in its lack of specific retail packaging. While both categories refer to confections ready for consumption, items classified under 1704.90.35.90 are not presented in typical consumer-sized packaging designed for direct sale to an individual end-user. This might include bulk shipments, industrial packaging, or products intended for further processing or incorporation into other goods, provided they otherwise meet the criteria of being a confection ready for consumption.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 1704.90.35.90. Therefore, classification within this heading relies on meticulously applying the exclusion criteria from preceding subheadings and ensuring the product is indeed a sugar-based confectionery ready for consumption that has not been specifically detailed elsewhere within Chapter 17. Examples could include certain types of sugar candies in bulk, large-format sugar decorations not intended for immediate individual consumption, or other sweet preparations meeting the general definition of sugar confectionery.
