Last updated: August 2026 dataChemically pure fructose in solid form — distinguished from commercial high-fructose syrups by its single-sugar purity — serves pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty food applications where precise sweetener composition is required. Turkey and Israel are the leading US suppliers under this heading, with China, Finland, and Taiwan also present; the supplier diversity reflects multiple production pathways, including enzymatic conversion from glucose and inulin hydrolysis. Chinese-origin chemically pure fructose may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin verification a key compliance step. As a food ingredient, FDA prior notice and food facility registration requirements apply to imported shipments.

Heading 170250 requires chemical purity — the product must consist essentially of fructose as a single sugar in solid (typically crystalline) form, not a mixture of sugars in syrup. Commercial glucose-fructose syrups, even those with high fructose content, classify under headings 170240 or 170260. A certificate of analysis confirming purity and the absence of significant other sugars is the standard supporting document for heading 170250 classification.
Chinese-origin chemically pure fructose may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should confirm the applicable HTS line, check the current Section 301 list and any product exclusions, and assess whether the additional duty significantly affects landed cost. FDA prior notice must also be filed before arrival, and the foreign manufacturer should be registered with FDA as a food facility. Working with a licensed customs broker experienced in both food imports and trade-remedy compliance is strongly recommended.
