Sugars & Syrups NESOI, Including Invert Sugar & Invert Syrup

Invert sugar, artificial honey, caramel, maltose, and other sugars not elsewhere specified in Chapter 17 converge in this residual heading, making correct classification a common challenge when a product does not fit the more specific headings for sucrose, glucose, or fructose. Nine 10-digit lines — including 1702901000, 1702902000, 1702903500, 1702904000, 1702904500, 1702905000, 1702905800, 1702906800, and 1702909000 — differentiate by non-sugar solids content, cane/beet origin, blended-syrup status, and sugar concentration thresholds. Indonesia leads US supply under this heading, followed by the Netherlands and Chile, with Mexico and Brazil also among the top sources. Blended syrups classified here may be subject to additional US note provisions in Chapter 17, and FDA food-ingredient admissibility requirements apply across the heading.
