2106.90.58.30 - Containing sugar derived from sugar cane or sugar beets

This HTS classification, 2106.90.58.30, specifically covers miscellaneous edible preparations that contain sugar derived from either sugar cane or sugar beets. These preparations fall under the broader category of "Other" food preparations not elsewhere specified or included, and within that, "Other" further specifications. The key defining characteristic for this subcategory is the explicit presence of sugar originating from these specific sources, distinguishing it from other food preparations that might use different sweeteners or be sugar-free.

Unlike its sibling category, 2106.90.58.50, which represents "Other" preparations of gelatin not specified further, this code is narrowly focused on products where the sugar content is a primary, identified component derived from sugar cane or beets. This means items such as candies, certain confectioneries, or sweetened dessert mixes, where the sugar source is a defining element of the product's composition, would likely be classified here, provided they also meet the gelatin criteria of the parent codes.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification rests entirely on the precise definition of "Containing sugar derived from sugar cane or sugar beets" within the context of edible gelatin preparations put up for retail sale. Classification decisions for this code should consider whether the sugar is a significant ingredient and if its origin from sugar cane or sugar beets is discernible or a stated characteristic of the product.
