1704.90.64.00 - Described in additional U.S. note 7 to this chapter and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS classification, 1704.90.64.00, specifically covers sugar confectionery that does not contain cocoa and meets the conditions outlined in additional U.S. note 7 to Chapter 17. This note provides specific criteria for classifying certain confectionery items. The goods falling under this code are essentially "other" types of sugar confectionery not already enumerated in preceding subheadings, but they are further defined by meeting the requirements of additional U.S. note 7. Examples include various types of candies, sweets, and confectionery products where sugar is the predominant ingredient by weight, and which are specifically provided for under this particular U.S. note.

The distinction between this subheading and its sibling, 1704.90.68.00 ("Other"), lies in the specific provisions referenced by additional U.S. note 7. While both are "other" sugar confectionery, 1704.90.64.00 is for those items that *qualify* under the specific conditions of additional U.S. note 7, whereas 1704.90.68.00 would encompass any remaining sugar confectionery not covered by preceding subheadings, including those that do not meet the criteria of additional U.S. note 7. Therefore, the key differentiator is adherence to the detailed stipulations within that particular U.S. note.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is definitive, and the primary determinant for inclusion is whether the "other" sugar confectionery product meets the precise requirements and conditions stipulated by additional U.S. note 7 to Chapter 17. Importers must carefully review this note to ensure their goods are correctly classified under 1704.90.64.00.
