Chemically Pure Dextrose Monohydrate Powder
This is a pharmaceutical-grade dextrose (glucose) monohydrate in solid crystalline form, derived from beet starch. While it is glucose-dominant, the candidate mentions blends or specifications meeting a >50% fructose equivalent, which could align with the 'other sugars' scope of this tariff item. However, chemically pure dextrose is explicitly excluded from this chapter under Note 1(b) unless it falls under the named sugars (sucrose, lactose, maltose, glucose, fructose). Since dextrose is glucose, it is not excluded, and as a chemically pure sugar, it could be classified under this item if it meets the criteria.
