U.S. imports of sugars, sugar syrups, maltose, artificial honey & caramel (nesoi) (HS 1702909000) totaled $14.3M in June 2026, traded with 43 countries.
Importers of Sugars, Sugar Syrups, Maltose, Artificial Honey & Caramel (NESOI) paid $2.0M in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $13.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Tariff-rate quota treatment is a defining feature of this residual sugar category, which captures chemically pure maltose in solid form, artificial honey (whether or not blended with natural honey), caramel, and miscellaneous sugar syrups not elsewhere specified. Importers must carefully distinguish these products from fructose, glucose, and lactose syrups that fall under separate HTS headings, as misclassification can trigger significant duty differences. The "NESOI" designation means this line functions as a catch-all for sweetener products that do not meet the specific compositional thresholds of other sugar tariff lines, making precise laboratory documentation of sugar content essential at entry.

This line is a residual 'not elsewhere specified' category covering solid maltose, artificial honey, caramel, and miscellaneous sugar syrups that do not meet the compositional criteria of more specific sugar headings such as fructose or glucose syrup lines. Precise sugar-content analysis is critical to avoid misclassification.
Many sugar and sugar-containing products in Chapter 17 are subject to TRQ provisions, and this residual line may carry TRQ exposure depending on the specific product. Importers should verify current quota status and applicable additional duties with a licensed customs broker before shipment.
