U.S. imports of sugar confectionery without cocoa, nesoi (including white chocolate) (HS 170490) totaled $248.9M in April 2026, traded with 90 countries.
Importers of Sugar Confectionery Without Cocoa, NESOI (Including White Chocolate) paid $16.9M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 17% on $101.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataHeading 170490 is the principal classification for cocoa-free sugar confectionery — spanning candied nuts (1704901000), cough drops (1704902500), hard and soft candies, white chocolate, and dairy-containing confections — with Mexico and Canada together accounting for the largest share of US imports. The heading's twelve US tariff lines segment products by dairy content, sugar concentration, retail-sale status, and peanut content, creating multiple classification decision points that require careful review of product composition. Confections containing dairy ingredients may fall under lines 1704905400 or 1704905800, which reference Additional US Note 10 to Chapter 17 and carry distinct duty treatment. Because these are finished food products, FDA oversight for labeling, ingredient safety, and prior notice applies to all entries.

Products containing dairy ingredients are directed to lines 1704905400 or 1704905800 depending on whether they satisfy the thresholds in Chapter 17 Additional US Note 10. Importers must document the percentage of dairy solids by weight; failure to correctly identify dairy content can result in misclassification between these lines and the general NESOI provisions, with potential duty and quota consequences.
Yes. White chocolate, which contains cocoa butter but no cocoa solids (cocoa paste or powder), is classified under heading 170490 rather than Chapter 18, because it lacks the non-fat cocoa solids that define cocoa-containing products. Importers should be prepared to provide a product specification sheet confirming the absence of cocoa mass or cocoa powder if CBP requests verification.
