About 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

HS code 1702 covers a wide range of sugar-based products, including various forms of refined sugars, syrups, and caramel. These products are essential ingredients in the food and beverage industry, as well as in the production of a variety of other consumer goods. The global sugar market is a significant component of the broader agricultural and commodity trading sectors, with fluctuations in supply and demand impacting a range of industries and consumer prices.

Production process

The production of the goods covered under HS code 1702 typically involves the extraction, refining, and processing of sugarcane, sugar beets, or other sugar-rich plant sources. Key steps may include harvesting, milling, clarification, evaporation, and crystallization to produce the desired sugar forms. Syrups and caramel may undergo additional processing, such as blending, heating, and controlled caramelization, to achieve the required characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the industries covered by HS code 1702 include sugarcane, sugar beets, and other sugar-rich agricultural feedstocks. Specialized equipment, such as mills, evaporators, and centrifuges, are also essential for the refining and processing of these raw materials. Energy sources, such as electricity and fuel, are required to power the production facilities, while water is used extensively in the various stages of the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industries covered by HS code 1702 include various forms of refined sugars, such as 1701 Cane or beet sugar, 1702 Sugars, including lactose, maltose, glucose or fructose in solid form, and 1703 Molasses. These sugar products are then used as ingredients in a wide range of food and beverage products, as well as in the production of other consumer goods, such as confectionery, baked goods, and pharmaceuticals.
