Fructose and Fructose Syrup — Over 50% Fructose (Dry Weight)

Fructose and fructose syrups containing more than 50% fructose by dry weight — a category that encompasses high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS-55 and HFCS-90) and similar products — are key industrial sweeteners for beverage, bakery, and processed-food manufacturing. The over-50% fructose threshold is the defining compositional boundary separating these products from lower-fructose glucose syrups, and laboratory verification of dry-weight fructose content is essential for correct entry. FDA oversight applies as a food ingredient, and importers should be aware that some trading partners have imposed their own restrictions on HFCS, which can affect reciprocal trade flows.
