Inulin-Derived Fructose Syrup 55% Solids from China
Syrup from enzymatic hydrolysis of inulin (chicory root), achieving >50% fructose by dry weight, used in bakery and confectionery. HTS 1702.60.40.50 covers this as other fructose syrups in non-solid form, excluding those with additives or invert sugar. Its natural high-fructose profile suits clean-label product formulations.

Import Tips
• Include hydrolysis process documentation to prove fructose derivation and compliance with subheading specs
• Avoid retail-ready packaging; import in totes for industrial use to fit Chapter 17 exclusions
• Track polarity and dry weight certifications; deviations risk shifting to lower fructose headings
