How it is structured
1702.20 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 17, are the chapter; the first four, 1702, are heading 17.02; the last two, 20, identify the subheading within the heading.
Countries add their own digits after these six for their national tariff lines.
- Chapter 17
- Sugars and sugar confectionery
- Subheading 1702.20
- Maple sugar and maple syrup
In other countries
No national tariff lines under 1702.20 are live on border.bot yet. Tariffs built on the Harmonized System (HS2022) use 1702.20 at six digits and add their own digits after it.
