Gummy Bears Assorted Fruit from China
Soft, chewy gummy bears made from sugar, gelatin, and fruit flavors, packaged in retail bags for direct consumption as sweetmeats. HTS 1704.90.35.50 covers these as other sugar confectionery without cocoa, ready for retail sale, excluding higher-sugar quota items. Their amorphous, consumer-ready form fits perfectly within the subheading.

Import Tips
• Document gelatin and sugar ratios to affirm Chapter 17 status over processed foods
• Use barcodes or retail UPCs on invoices to prove retail intent
• Avoid repackaging post-import; original retail packs prevent bulk downgrades
