Products classified under HTS 1701.12.50.00
Granulated Beet Raw Sugar
Granulated beet raw sugar is derived from sugar beets and processed into solid granules with a polarimeter reading less than 99.5 degrees sucrose, classifying it as raw sugar under HTS 1701.12.50.00. It lacks added flavoring or coloring and is used primarily for further refining in food production. This form meets the 'other' category for beet sugar not fitting specific subquotas.
Beet Sugar Crystals Coarse Grade
Coarse beet sugar crystals are raw sugar from beets with irregular, large crystals and sucrose content below 99.5° polarimeter reading, fitting HTS 1701.12.50.00 as 'other' beet raw sugar. No flavoring or coloring is added, intended for industrial refining. The coarse texture distinguishes it from finer granulated types under quota specifications.
Industrial Beet Raw Sugar Pellets
Beet raw sugar formed into uniform pellets for industrial handling, with sucrose <99.5° and no additives, classified under HTS 1701.12.50.00 as other solid raw beet sugar. The pelleted form aids bulk transport but maintains raw status for refining. It complies with chapter notes excluding flavored/colored products.
Organic Beet Raw Sugar Granules
Organic certified raw sugar granules from beets, maintaining <99.5° sucrose without chemical processing beyond extraction, under HTS 1701.12.50.00. Organic status doesn't alter tariff classification as it's still raw solid form sans additives. Used by refineries seeking certified inputs.
High-Purity Beet Raw Sugar Powder
Powdered form of raw beet sugar milled to fine consistency but retaining <99.5° sucrose polarity, classified as other raw beet sugar in HTS 1701.12.50.00. No refining beyond crystallization; powder form suits specific industrial blending. Excludes any added substances per chapter rules.
Bulk Packed Beet Raw Sugar
Raw beet sugar packed in 50kg bulk bags for industrial import, solid form with <99.5° sucrose, under HTS 1701.12.50.00 other category. Bulk packaging doesn't affect classification as it's not retail-ready per US notes. Primarily for US refineries processing into white sugar.
Refinery-Grade Beet Raw Sugar
Beet raw sugar specifically graded for refinery use, crystals <99.5° sucrose without coloring/flavoring, HTS 1701.12.50.00. Meets solid raw form criteria for further purification. Common import for converting to consumer table sugar.
European Beet Raw Sugar Export
Raw sugar from European beet crops, solid granules <99.5° polarimeter, imported under HTS 1701.12.50.00 as other beet raw. Subject to USTR allocations for non-quota countries. Used in US for blending and refining.
Fine Crystal Beet Raw Sugar
Fine crystal raw beet sugar with minimal processing, sucrose <99.5°, no additives, HTS 1701.12.50.00. The finer crystals suit specific refining but remain raw per definition. Excluded from consumer-ready per US notes.
Non-Quota Beet Raw Sugar
Beet raw sugar exceeding TRQ limits, solid form <99.5° sucrose, subject to over-quota duty in HTS 1701.12.50.00. Intended for licensed industrial use or re-export. Complies with raw definition sans flavor/color.
