Alternative Classifications

If retail-packaged blended syrup solid
Consumer-ready packaging disqualifies from note 4 blended syrups, shifting to limited-entry subheadings with strict quotas.
If for food manufacturing with added ingredients
Mixtures prepared for further food processing may fall under Chapter 21 if exceeding sugar content thresholds in notes.
