Maple Sugar and Maple Syrup

Canada overwhelmingly dominates US imports of maple sugar and maple syrup, supplying the vast majority of the world's commercially traded maple products — a geographic reality embedded in the heading's tariff structure, which includes lines for blended maple syrup under General Note 15 (1702202290), certified organic syrup in bulk containers over 5 kg (1702204040), and conventional syrup in both bulk and smaller pack sizes (1702204060, 1702204070). The heading's eight 10-digit lines also distinguish pure maple sugar (1702204010) from various syrup forms, and organic from non-organic grades — distinctions that matter for premium retail positioning and USDA organic certification compliance. Peru, France, Sri Lanka, and the United Kingdom appear among other recorded suppliers, though at far smaller volumes. FDA admissibility requirements apply to all food-grade maple products; consult a licensed customs broker for classification and organic documentation guidance.
