Sugars; lactose and lactose syrup, containing by weight less than 99% lactose, expressed as anhydrous lactose, calculated on the dry matter

HS v2022 Code: 170219

About sugars; lactose and lactose syrup, containing by weight less than 99% lactose, expressed as anhydrous lactose, calculated on the dry matter

HS code 170219 covers a range of sugar-based products, including lactose and lactose syrup. These products play a crucial role in various industries, from food and beverage manufacturing to pharmaceutical and cosmetic production. As a key component in many consumer goods, the demand for these sugars and syrups remains high, making this industry an important contributor to the global economy.

Production process

The production of the products covered under HS code 170219 typically involves the extraction and purification of lactose from milk or whey. This process often includes steps such as filtration, evaporation, and crystallization to obtain the desired lactose content and purity. Manufacturers may also employ techniques like enzymatic hydrolysis to convert lactose into lactose syrup, which has a range of applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the goods under HS code 170219 include raw milk or whey, which serve as the primary sources of lactose. Additionally, manufacturers may utilize various chemicals, enzymes, and specialized equipment, such as centrifuges, evaporators, and crystallizers, to facilitate the extraction and refinement processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 170219 are lactose and lactose syrup, which find applications in a wide range of industries. These products may be further consumed by manufacturers of 170111 Sugars; cane or beet sugar, solid, 190110 Preparations for infant use, put up for retail sale, and 300490 Medicaments; put up for retail sale, n.e.c. in heading no. 3004, among others.
