Sourcing this category from India

HS 1704.10 covers Sugar confectionery; chewing gum, whether or not sugar-coated, not containing cocoa. It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it. India is among the world's largest sugar producers and a swing exporter of raw and refined sugar, jaggery and molasses. India exported $15.3M under this code worldwide in 2024, about 0.6% of all Chapter 17 exports, ranking #2 of 2 lines in its heading (UN Comtrade).

How to read this code

1704.10 is the six-digit HS subheading for sugar confectionery. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many prepared foodstuffs, beverages & tobacco lines — check our import guides for your market.
