Fructose & Fructose Syrup Containing Over 50% Fructose (Non-Chemically Pure)

Commercial-grade fructose and fructose syrups with more than 50% fructose by dry weight — excluding chemically pure fructose and invert sugar — are widely used as sweeteners in beverages, baked goods, and processed foods, making this heading a high-volume import category. The US schedule is notably granular, with six active 10-digit lines (1702600050, 1702600060, 1702602800, 1702604030, 1702604050, and 1702604090) that separate liquid syrups from solid forms, blended products, certified organic material, and NESOI residuals. Mexico and Canada together account for the largest share of US supply, with Taiwan, Pakistan, and Belgium also among the top sources. FDA entry review applies to all food-grade shipments; importers of certified organic lines should also confirm USDA National Organic Program equivalency documentation.
