Import Tips
• Ensure the product is classified as molasses, not sugar syrup, by providing laboratory analysis of sucrose content and non-sugar solids
• Verify that no added colouring or anti-caking agents are present, as that would shift classification to sibling item 1703.90.10
• Declare the intended use (e.g
• fermentation) to customs to support the classification
