Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If other raw cane sugar under note 5
Beet vs. cane distinction separates 1701.12 from 1701.14 quotas, both under note 5 provisions.
If chemically pure sucrose extracted
Pure sucrose form (not raw sugar) classifies under 1701.99, bypassing raw sugar quotas.
If containing molasses residues
Excess soluble non-sugar solids may reclassify as molasses-containing under heading 1702.
