Last updated: August 2026 dataCanada overwhelmingly dominates global maple syrup production and is by far the leading US supplier under this heading, making supply concentration and Canadian origin documentation routine considerations for importers. The US schedule is unusually granular for this commodity, with nine 10-digit lines distinguishing pure maple syrup from blended syrups (including those described in General Note 15), certified organic versus conventional grades, and container-size thresholds (over 5 kg versus smaller retail formats). USMCA preferential treatment is available for Canadian-origin shipments, and organic certification must be substantiated by a USDA-accredited certifier's documentation. FDA prior notice requirements apply to all food-use imports.

Lines 1702202210, 1702202290, and 1702202890 cover blended maple syrups — products that combine maple syrup with other sweeteners — and are separated from pure maple sugar (1702204010) and pure maple syrup lines. The blended lines further distinguish products described in General Note 15 (typically TRQ-eligible entries) from those that are not, so the blend composition and TRQ status must both be established before filing entry.
To classify under the certified organic maple syrup lines (1702204040 and 1702204050), importers must present a valid organic certificate issued by a USDA-accredited certifying agent covering the specific lot. The certificate must identify the producer, the certifying body, and the scope of certification. CBP may request this documentation at the time of entry or during a post-entry review.
