Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified as blended syrup for further processing
Blended syrups not consumer-ready prohibited under note 4; shifts to TRQ-limited codes.
If over 65% sugars and processable
High-sugar content syrups enter specific high-sugar quota subheadings if not final consumer form.
If containing over 65% cane/beet sugars
Exceeds quantitative limits for high-sugar articles per note.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit hydrolysis process documentation proving invert formation and fructose content ≥50% dry basis
• Test for foreign substances; any added molasses disqualifies low-solids criterion
• Monitor annual quotas via USDA; use bonds for pending raw value determinations
