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

HS v2017 Code: 170230

About 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

HS code 170230 covers a range of sugar and glucose products that are widely used in the food and beverage industry. These products are essential ingredients in the manufacturing of various confectionery, baked goods, and other processed foods. The global demand for these sugars and syrups continues to grow, driven by the increasing consumption of processed foods and the rising popularity of sweetened beverages worldwide.

Production process

The production of the sugars and syrups covered under HS code 170230 typically involves the extraction and purification of glucose from starch-rich sources, such as corn, wheat, or potatoes. The starch is first broken down into glucose through enzymatic or acid hydrolysis processes. The resulting glucose is then further refined and concentrated to produce the desired sugar or syrup products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the goods under HS code 170230 include starch-rich raw materials, such as 100500 (Maize (corn)), 100110 Wheat, or 071410 (Manioc (cassava)). Additionally, the production process requires various enzymes, chemicals, and specialized equipment, such as centrifuges, evaporators, and crystallizers.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 170230 are glucose, glucose syrup, and other sugar products that contain less than 20% fructose. These products are widely used as sweeteners and bulking agents in the 190190 Preparations for infant use, put up for retail sale, 210690 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included, and 220290 Non-alcoholic beverages, not including fruit or vegetable juices of heading 2009 industries.

Revisions to 170230

Classification codes are adjusted frequently. The code may have been revised or replaced between system versions. The table below shows the history (newest to oldest) of the code 170230. The most recent 1 version of this code (170230) is in the HS v2022 system:
