Overview

This HTS category encompasses blended syrups specifically defined by additional U.S. note 4 to chapter 17 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. These syrups are characterized by their composition and intended use as outlined in that note, which often relates to sugar content and specific functional properties. The classification here is reserved for those blended syrups that meet these precise criteria, differentiating them from other food preparations.

The primary distinction of this category lies in its direct reference to additional U.S. note 4. While the broader category of "Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included" is vast, this specific code is triggered only when a blended syrup falls precisely within the parameters established by that note. This ensures specialized treatment for products with specific origins or purposes defined by U.S. import regulations.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on accurately identifying blended syrups that precisely meet the requirements of additional U.S. note 4 to chapter 17. Examples might include certain specialized liquid sweeteners or sugar-based mixtures intended for specific industrial food manufacturing processes, provided they are documented and entered in accordance with the provisions of the aforementioned note.
