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 diverse range of sugar-based products that are essential commodities in the global food and beverage industry. These sugars, including lactose, maltose, glucose, and fructose, are widely used as sweeteners, preservatives, and ingredients in a vast array of consumer goods. The production and trade of these products play a significant role in the international economy, supporting industries from confectionery to pharmaceuticals.

Production process

The production of the sugars and syrups under HS code 1702 typically involves a combination of extraction, purification, and crystallization processes. Raw materials such as sugarcane, sugar beets, or corn are processed to isolate the desired sugar compounds, which are then further refined and concentrated into solid or syrup form. Specialized techniques like ion exchange, evaporation, and centrifugation are often employed to ensure the purity and consistency of the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 1702 products include agricultural feedstocks like sugarcane, sugar beets, and corn, as well as various processing aids and chemicals used for purification and refinement. Specialized equipment such as evaporators, centrifuges, and crystallizers are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in food processing, chemistry, and engineering.

Production outputs

The outputs of HS code 1702 include a wide range of sugar-based products, such as 1701 Cane or beet sugar and chemically pure sucrose, in solid form, 1703 Molasses, and various glucose, fructose, and maltose compounds. These outputs are then consumed by a diverse array of industries, including 1704 (Sugar confectionery (including white chocolate), not containing cocoa), 1806 Chocolate and other food preparations containing cocoa, and 2106 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included.
