Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the sugar is refined or has a sucrose content of 99.5° or higher and is not raw
Refined sugar or higher purity sugar falls under other subheadings.
If the sugar is non-centrifugal with a polarimeter reading between 69° and 93°
Non-centrifugal cane sugar with lower sucrose content may be classified here.
