Products classified under HTS 1702.60.40
High Fructose Corn Syrup HFCS-55
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS-55) is a liquid sweetener derived from corn starch, containing over 55% fructose by dry weight in its solid equivalent, used widely in soft drinks and processed foods. It falls under HTS 1702.60.40 as 'other fructose and fructose syrup' exceeding 50% fructose content, excluding invert sugar, in syrup form without added flavoring or coloring. This classification applies to its high fructose concentration tested in the dry state.
Fructose Powder USP Grade
Pharmaceutical-grade crystalline fructose powder with over 98% fructose content by dry weight, used in medical syrups and nutritional supplements. Classified under HTS 1702.60.40 as 'other fructose' in solid form exceeding 50% fructose, chemically pure without invert sugar. Its high purity and solid state distinguish it from syrups.
Liquid Fructose Syrup 70% Fructose
Industrial liquid fructose syrup with 70% fructose by dry weight, produced from corn hydrolysis for baking and confectionery. HTS 1702.60.40 covers this as 'other fructose syrup' >50% fructose, not invert, without flavor/color additives. Used bulk for further processing in food manufacturing.
Agave Fructose Syrup Inulin-Derived
Syrup from agave inulin hydrolysis, exceeding 50% fructose by dry weight, used in natural sweeteners for beverages. Falls under HTS 1702.60.40 as 'other fructose syrup,' distinct from cane/beet due to plant source but meeting fructose threshold without additives. Popular in health food applications.
Crystalline Fructose Food Grade
Granular crystalline fructose >99% pure by dry weight, in solid form for dry mixes and low-calorie foods. HTS 1702.60.40 includes this as 'other fructose' in solid form >50% fructose, chemically derived without invert. Ideal for direct table use or blending.
HFCS-42 High Fructose Corn Syrup
HFCS-42 syrup with 42% fructose but dry state adjusted to >50% via concentration, for canned fruits and dairy. Under HTS 1702.60.40 as 'fructose syrup >50% dry weight,' excluding invert, no flavors. Common in U.S. food processing.
Isoglucose Fructose Syrup EU-Origin
