About heading 1702
Other sugars, including chemically pure lactose, maltose, glucose and fructose, in solid form; sugar syrups not containing added flavoring or coloring matter; artificial honey, whether or not mixed with natural honey; caramel
Heading 1702 covers sugars other than cane or beet sugar in solid form, along with sugar syrups that have no added flavoring or coloring, artificial honey, and caramel. The lines split first by sugar type: lactose, maple sugar and maple syrup, glucose, fructose, and a residual other group that includes invert sugar. Within each sugar type the rate depends on fructose content, whether the goods are blended syrups described in the chapter 17 notes, organic certification, and for maple syrup the container size.
