Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If refined but retaining some molasses residues
Partially refined cane sugars with impurities may classify under 1701.91 rather than invert syrups.
If containing added flavoring or coloring matter
Heading 1702 excludes flavored syrups, shifting to 1702.90.90 or Chapter 21.
If for animal feed use with beet pulp residues
Beet residues make it a brewing/wine lees product under Chapter 23.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure documentation specifies industrial end-use to differentiate from quota-restricted raw sugars
• Test for absence of centrifugal processing if claiming non-raw status under subheading notes
• Declare exact polarity and fructose composition to align with raw value computations

Cane Invert Molasses
Invert molasses derived from sugar cane through hydrolysis, containing a blend of glucose and fructose in the dry state with at least 50% fructose. It is a thick, dark syrup used primarily in industrial food processing for baking and confectionery. Classified under HTS 1702.90.35.00 as invert molasses from sugar cane, distinct from raw molasses due to its inverted sugar composition.
Beet Invert Molasses
Invert molasses produced from sugar beets, featuring hydrolyzed sugars with 50% or more fructose in dry state. This viscous syrup serves as a humectant in tobacco and animal feed production. HTS 1702.90.35.00 applies to its status as invert molasses derived from beets, separate from centrifugal beet sugar.
Food-Grade Cane Invert Molasses
High-purity invert molasses from sugar cane, hydrolyzed to 50-60% fructose in dry form, employed in bakery mixes and confectionery. Fits HTS 1702.90.35.00 due to its cane derivation and invert sugar profile without flavor additives.
High-Fructose Invert Molasses
Invert molasses blend from beets or cane achieving 55%+ fructose dry weight via enzymatic inversion, used in soft drink manufacturing. Classified in 1702.90.35.00 for its sugar syrup nature without coloring or flavors.
Brewery Invert Molasses
Specialty invert molasses from cane for beer fermentation, featuring 50% fructose dry state from acid hydrolysis. HTS 1702.90.35.00 covers this unflavored syrup derived from sugar sources.
Confectionery Invert Molasses
Dark invert molasses from sugar beets, 52% fructose dry weight, ideal for licorice and toffee production. Falls under 1702.90.35.00 as other invert sugar syrups from beets without additives.
