Importers of Fructose & Fructose Syrup, Over 50% Fructose (NESOI) paid $161K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $1.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataHigh-fructose syrups and solid fructose exceeding 50% fructose content by weight occupy a closely watched position in US sugar trade policy, with several tariff lines subject to tariff-rate-quota treatment and blended-syrup provisions under Chapter 17 additional US notes. The US schedule distinguishes liquid syrup (1702600050), solid form (1702600060), blended products (1702602800), and certified organic versus non-organic variants (1702604030 and 1702604050). Mexico is the dominant supplier, reflecting its large high-fructose corn syrup industry and proximity to US beverage and food manufacturers, with Canada a secondary source. Importers should verify whether a shipment qualifies as a blend under the applicable additional US note, as misclassification between the blended and non-blended lines carries duty-rate consequences.

CBP applies Chapter 17 Additional US Note 4 to determine whether a product qualifies as a 'blended syrup.' Importers must document the composition and origin of each ingredient; a product that meets the blended-syrup definition is classified under 1702602800 rather than the general syrup line 1702600050, which can affect the applicable duty rate and quota status.
Yes. The US schedule specifically separates certified organic fructose and fructose syrup (1702604030) from non-organic equivalents (1702604050). Importers must provide valid USDA National Organic Program certification documentation at entry to support the organic line classification; absent that documentation, CBP will classify the goods under the non-organic provision.
