Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the cane sugar is uncentrifuged with a polarimeter reading between 69° and less than 93°
Subheading Note 2 defines a separate category for uncentrifuged cane sugar with lower polarization.
If the sugar contains added flavouring or colouring matter
Sugar with added flavouring or colouring is classified under a different subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain a certificate of analysis confirming the polarimeter reading is ≥99.5° to support the classification under 1701.14.00
• Ensure the sugar is in solid form and free of added flavouring or colouring matter
• Check with the CBSA for any import restrictions or tariff rate quotas applicable to raw cane sugar
