Import Tips
• Confirm the polarimeter reading is below 99.5° to ensure classification as raw sugar; higher readings may require a different tariff item
• Check if the jaggery contains any added binder exceeding 3% by weight, which would affect classification under section note 1
• Keep documentation of the manufacturing process to demonstrate it is unrefined cane sugar
