Last updated: August 2026 dataFructose 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.

HFCS-55, which contains approximately 55% fructose on a dry-weight basis, falls within this heading because it exceeds the 50% fructose threshold. HFCS-42, by contrast, falls below 50% and would be classified in the 20%–50% fructose heading. Confirming the exact fructose content of each product grade is essential before filing entry.
A manufacturer's certificate of analysis showing fructose and glucose content on a dry-weight basis is the primary classification document. Importers should also retain the supplier's food facility FDA registration number and any FSMA Foreign Supplier Verification records, as CBP may request these during a CF-28 or CF-29 inquiry.
