Import Tips
• Verify the polarimeter reading is below 99.5° to qualify as raw sugar; higher readings may require a different tariff item
• Ensure the product is not centrifuged, as centrifuged sugar may fall under different subheadings
• Check if the turbinado contains any added binder exceeding 3% by weight
