HS-6 · Subheading
170230
Sugars; glucose and glucose syrup, not containing fructose or containing in the dry state less than 20% by weight of fructose, the syrup not containing added flavouring or colouring matter
Heading 1702 — Sugars, including lactose, maltose, glucose or fructose in solid form; sugar syrups without added flavouring or colouring matter; artificial honey, whether or not mixed with natural honey; caramel
Chapter 17: Sugars and sugar confectionery
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 170230 when importing or exporting glucose and glucose syrup that does not contain added flavoring or coloring. For example, a shipment of pure glucose syrup in bulk containers for use in food manufacturing falls under this code.
This code specifically covers glucose and glucose syrup that contains less than 20% fructose by weight in dry form. In contrast, HS-6 170231 includes glucose syrup with higher fructose content, which is used in different applications like sweeteners.
When classifying products, ensure the glucose syrup is free from any added flavors or colors. If your product has these additives, you may need to consider a different classification, such as those under HS-6 170290 for other sugars.
Understanding the specific composition of your glucose product is crucial for correct classification. For instance, glucose syrup used in the production of candies or baked goods should be classified under this code if it meets the criteria.
