Other, including invert sugar and other sugar and sugar syrup blends containing in the dry state 50 percent by weight of fructose
Analysis
Subheading 1702.90 covers other, including invert sugar and other sugar and sugar syrup blends containing in the dry state 50 percent by weight of fructose, within heading 1702. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 11 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 11 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 5.1% to 6% with a median of 6%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
7 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.
Its 11 lines start with 1702.90.05 (described in general note 15 of the tariff…), 1702.90.10 (described in additional U.S. note 5 to this…), 1702.90.20 (containing soluble non-sugar solids (excluding…) and 1702.90.35 (other: invert molasses); the full list is in the table below.
