HS v2022 Code: 170220

About sugars; maple sugar, chemically pure, in solid form; maple syrup, not containing added flavouring or colouring matter

HS code 170220 covers a range of sugar products, including maple sugar and maple syrup. These products are highly valued for their unique flavor profiles and are widely used in various food and beverage applications. The maple sugar and syrup industry plays a significant role in the global sweetener market, contributing to the diversification of consumer choices and the preservation of traditional production methods.

Production process

The production of maple sugar and maple syrup involves the collection of sap from maple trees, typically during the spring season. The sap is then boiled and concentrated to remove excess water, resulting in the desired sugar or syrup consistency. The process requires specialized equipment, such as tapping spouts, collection containers, and evaporators, to ensure efficient and high-quality production.

Production inputs

The primary input for the maple sugar and syrup industry is the sap collected from maple trees, which is the raw material for these products. Additionally, the industry relies on various equipment and machinery, including tapping tools, storage containers, and evaporation systems, to facilitate the production process. Energy sources, such as wood or electricity, are also essential inputs for the boiling and concentration stages.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the maple sugar and syrup industry are the refined sugar and syrup products, which are then used in a wide range of food and beverage applications. These products are often consumed directly as sweeteners or incorporated into other food items, such as baked goods, confectionery, and dairy products. The industry's outputs may also be used as inputs for 170111 Sugars; cane sugar, chemically pure, in solid form and 170199 Sugars; cane or beet sugar and chemically pure sucrose, in solid form, not containing added flavouring or colouring matter.
