Australian Centrifuged Raw Cane Sugar
Australian centrifuged raw cane sugar in solid form, with a sucrose content corresponding to a polarimeter reading of 99.5° or higher in the dry state. This product is not covered by Subheading Note 2 (which requires uncentrifuged sugar with lower polarization) and is not a beet sugar, so it falls under 'other cane sugar' in tariff item 1701.14.00.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the cane sugar is obtained without centrifugation and has a polarimeter reading between 69° and less than 93°
Subheading Note 2 specifically covers uncentrifuged cane sugar with lower polarization, which is excluded from 1701.14.00.
If the sugar has been refined or contains added flavouring or colouring matter
Refined sugar or sugar with additives falls outside the raw sugar definition and is classified elsewhere in heading 17.01.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the sugar is accompanied by a certificate of analysis showing polarimeter reading ≥99.5° to support classification under 1701.14.00
• Verify that no added flavouring or colouring matter is present, as this would change the tariff classification
• Consult the CBSA's D10 database for current duty rates, as raw sugar may be subject to tariff rate quotas
