About 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

HS code 170290 covers a diverse range of sugar products that are not classified elsewhere in the 1702 heading. This includes invert sugar, as well as blended sugar and sugar syrups containing at least 50% fructose by weight. These sugars play a vital role in the food and beverage industry, serving as sweeteners, preservatives, and key ingredients in a wide array of consumer products.

Production process

The production of sugars under HS code 170290 typically involves various refining and blending processes. Invert sugar, for example, is produced by hydrolyzing sucrose into its component monosaccharides, glucose and fructose. Other sugar blends may be created by combining different types of sugars, such as high fructose corn syrup, to achieve the desired sweetness and composition.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 170290 sugars include raw sugar, corn, and other sweetener sources. Specialized equipment such as centrifuges, evaporators, and blending tanks are also necessary to facilitate the refining and blending processes. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The sugars produced under HS code 170290 are primarily used as sweeteners in the food and beverage industry. They can be found in a wide range of products, including 170111 Raw sugar, cane, 170112 Raw sugar, beet, 170199 Cane or beet sugar and chemically pure sucrose, in solid form, and 170410 Chewing gum, whether or not sugar-coated. These sugars may also be used in the production of other sugar-based products, such as confectionery, jams, and syrups.

Revisions to 170290
