1704.90.68.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 1704.90.68.00, encompasses "Other" sugar confectionery products that do not contain cocoa and are not specifically provided for in other subheadings. To fall within this category, the confectionery must contain over 65 percent by dry weight of sugar, as further defined by additional U.S. note 2 to chapter 17. This broad description captures a wide array of sweet confections that meet these primary sugar content and cocoa-free criteria.

This specific classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 1704.90.64.00, by its reliance on additional U.S. note 2 to chapter 17 for its definition. The sibling category, conversely, is defined by its compliance with additional U.S. note 7 to the same chapter. Therefore, the crucial differentiating factor lies in which specific U.S. additional note governs the classification of the sugar confectionery.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Classification under 1704.90.68.00 is therefore a final determination based on whether the product meets the general criteria for sugar confectionery (not containing cocoa, over 65% sugar by dry weight), and crucially, if it is described by additional U.S. note 2 to chapter 17, and is not more specifically classified elsewhere. Examples could include certain types of hard candies, sugar candies, or other similar confections that meet the specified sugar content threshold and lack cocoa.
