Hard Candy Lollipops from Canada

These are stick-mounted hard candies made primarily from cane sugar, with over 65% sugar by dry weight, flavored with fruit extracts and colored naturally. They fall under HTS 1704.90.68.00 as sugar confectionery not containing cocoa, specifically articles exceeding the sugar threshold in Additional U.S. Note 2 to Chapter 17. The high sucrose content from crystallization during boiling classifies them distinctly from lower-sugar candies.
