Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If primarily glucose rather than fructose dominant
Glucose > fructose blends classify under 1702.30; fructose threshold defines this subheading.
If chemically pure isolated fructose chemical
Pure chemical fructose is organic acid derivative in Chapter 29, not sugar syrup blend.
If raw cane sugar without syrup processing
Raw centrifugal sugars use 1701.12 with separate quotas; requires inversion for 1702.
