Last updated: April 2026 dataMaple sugar and maple syrup are premium, terroir-linked sweeteners whose commercial value depends heavily on grade classification — color and flavor grades (Golden, Amber, Dark, Very Dark) established by the International Maple Syrup Institute and adopted by major producing regions. Canada dominates global supply, and shipments from Canada benefit from USMCA preferential tariff treatment. FDA regulates maple syrup as a food, requiring accurate ingredient labeling and prohibiting the use of the term 'maple' for products blended with other sweeteners.

Color and flavor grades (Golden Delicate, Amber Rich, Dark Robust, Very Dark Strong) are commercially significant for buyer specifications and labeling but do not create separate tariff lines at the SITC level. However, buyers should ensure certificates of grade accompany shipments to satisfy retail and food-service contract requirements.
FDA requires that products labeled 'maple syrup' consist entirely of syrup derived from maple sap. Blended products containing maple flavoring or other sweeteners cannot use the unqualified 'maple syrup' designation. Country-of-origin labeling is also required for retail packaging.
