HS-6 170290: Sugars; n.e.c. in heading no. 1702, including invert sugar and other sugar and sugar syrup blends containing, in the dry state, 50% by weight of fructose

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 170290 when importing or exporting sugar blends that are not specifically classified elsewhere. This includes products like invert sugar or sugar syrup blends with at least 50% fructose by weight. For example, if you're shipping a syrup made from a mix of sugars with high fructose content, this code applies.

The 170290 category encompasses sugars and syrup blends that do not fit neatly into other classifications, allowing for a variety of products. If your product includes artificial honey or caramel without added flavoring, consider this code for your shipments.

When dealing with sugar products, it's essential to know the exact composition. For instance, if your syrup contains a mix of glucose and fructose, it may fall under this subheading. Always check the percentages to ensure compliance.
