High-Purity Beet Raw Granules GN15 from United States
High-purity raw beet sugar in granular solid form, testing 99.8 degrees polariscope, without added flavouring or colouring matter. This product qualifies as raw sugar under subheading note 1 because its sucrose content in the dry state corresponds to a polarimeter reading of less than 99.5°? No—at 99.8°, it exceeds the raw sugar threshold, so it is classified as 'other' beet sugar in solid form. It is imported in bulk for further refining or industrial use.

Import Tips
• Verify the polarimeter reading on the certificate of analysis; if it is 99.5° or higher, it falls under 1701.12.90 as 'other' sugar, not raw sugar
• Ensure no added flavouring or colouring matter is present, as that would shift classification
• Be aware that imports may be subject to tariff rate quotas; without a quota allocation, the over access commitment rate applies
