Analysis
HTS 1702.20.24 covers described in additional U.S. note 9 to this chapter and entered pursuant to its provisions under heading 1702 (other sugars, including chemically pure lactose, maltose, glucose and fructose, in solid…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 6%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 1702.20.40 (maple sugar and maple syrup: other), at duty-free: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 6 percentage points.
Goods that qualify under the Oman FTA, the Peru TPA and USMCA can enter duty-free instead of paying 6%.
For statistics it divides in two: 1702.20.24.10 for maple sugar and 1702.20.24.90 for maple syrup. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
The general duty rate is 6% of the customs value, which is in the middle of the rates in chapter 17 (52nd percentile of 32 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $600 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
