About HS Code 170230

This category covers glucose and glucose syrup that contain less than 20% by weight of fructose in the dry state, or no fructose at all, and are free from added flavorings or colorings. These products are fundamental ingredients in the food and beverage industry, valued for their ability to provide sweetness, body, and texture without a high fructose profile. They are extensively used in confectionery, baking, brewing, and processed foods. International trade involves large volumes, with major food ingredient suppliers exporting to food manufacturers globally. Quality control focuses on sugar profile and functional properties.

Products Under This Code

Dextrose monohydrate, liquid glucose (low fructose), corn syrup (low fructose), glucose powder, maltodextrin (if primarily glucose), glucose solids, confectioner's glucose

Real World Examples

Cargill (glucose syrup), ADM (dextrose), Tate & Lyle (glucose syrup), Roquette (glucose syrup), Ingredion (glucose syrup)

Common Misclassification

Often confused with 170240 or 170260, which have higher fructose content. The critical distinction is the 'less than 20% by weight of fructose' threshold.
