U.S. imports of chemically pure sugars (excluding sucrose, lactose, maltose, glucose & fructose) (HS 294000) totaled $18.1M in April 2026, traded with 28 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataChemically pure sugars outside the common commercial monosaccharides and disaccharides — including D-arabinose (2940002000) and a broad residual category (2940006000) — serve primarily as pharmaceutical excipients, biochemical reagents, and specialty food ingredients. China is the dominant US supplier, with Germany and France also significant sources. FDA may review these substances at entry depending on their intended use, particularly when destined for pharmaceutical formulation or as food additives, so importers should maintain documentation of intended application and applicable food-additive or drug-substance status.

Chapter 17 covers commercial-grade sugars such as sucrose, glucose, and fructose in their ordinary trade forms. Heading 2940 is limited to chemically pure monosaccharides and disaccharides — defined by a specific degree of chemical purity — that are not sucrose, lactose, maltose, glucose, or fructose. The distinction turns on both chemical identity and purity specification, not simply on end use.
Imports of chemically pure sugars from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs depending on the specific tariff line and any applicable product exclusions. Importers should verify the current Section 301 list coverage and check for active exclusions for their specific HTS line before shipment.
