Last updated: July 2026 dataMid-range fructose content — between 20% and 49% on a dry-weight basis — defines the glucose and glucose syrup products in this heading, placing them between the low-fructose dextrose of heading 170230 and the high-fructose corn syrup of heading 170260. Canada is the leading US supplier, with the United Arab Emirates and Belgium also present — an unusual supplier mix that reflects re-export and blending activity in those markets. The heading has only two 10-digit lines (1702400000 and 1702404000), making the fructose content measurement the primary classification risk; importers should obtain laboratory analysis confirming the percentage falls within the 20–49% band. This product is used in beverage manufacturing, confectionery, and food processing.

A certificate of analysis from an accredited laboratory specifying fructose content as a percentage of dry matter is essential. The 20% lower bound separates this heading from 170230, and the 50% upper bound separates it from heading 170260 (high-fructose syrups). CBP may request this analysis during examination or a post-entry audit, so retaining the CoA for the full recordkeeping period is critical.
The UAE and Belgium are significant re-export and blending hubs for sweetener products, sourcing raw glucose from primary producers and processing or repackaging it before export to the US. Importers sourcing from these origins should carefully document the country of origin of the underlying glucose to ensure correct origin marking and to assess any applicable trade-remedy exposure based on the true country of manufacture.
