2106.90.46.00 - Other

This HTS category, 2106.90.46.00, encompasses syrups derived from cane or beet sugar that contain added coloring but specifically *do not* contain added flavoring matter. These syrups are intended for use as ingredients or components in food preparations, but their primary characteristic for classification purposes is the presence of coloring agents without any flavoring enhancement.

This specific classification is distinguished from its siblings by the absence of added flavoring. For instance, 2106.90.42.00 and 2106.90.44.00 are defined by their compliance with specific general or additional U.S. notes related to tariff provisions, which may permit or exclude certain characteristics or uses not directly related to the flavoring content. Therefore, when classifying a syrup under this heading, it is crucial to verify the absence of any added flavoring compounds, even if coloring agents are present.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification hinges entirely on the product meeting the described criteria: derived from cane or beet sugar, containing added coloring, and devoid of added flavoring. Products that contain both added coloring and added flavoring would fall under a different classification within the broader category of "Other" food preparations.
