Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If higher polarization cane sugar
Cane raw sugar at 99.5°+ polarimeter moves to 1701.12, outside subheading note 2.
If containing >65% sugars, processable
Refined cane sugar products under quantitative limits shift to 1701.91 if beyond raw stage.
If medicated like cough drops
Sugar-based cough drops with menthol/eucalyptol classify in 1704.90, not raw sugar.

Raw Cane Sugar Quota Import
Raw cane sugar imported under the quantitative limitations of additional U.S. note 5 to chapter 17, with sucrose content by weight in dry state corresponding to a polarimeter reading of less than 99.5 degrees. It is uncentrifuged or processed to meet subheading 1701.13 specifications for quota entry. This solid form sugar is used primarily for refining in the U.S.
Unrefined Cane Sugar for Refining
Solid raw cane sugar entered pursuant to U.S. note 5 provisions, featuring natural anhedral microcrystals and molasses residues as per subheading note 2. Polarimeter reading between 69° and less than 93° sucrose content qualifies it for this quota category. Primarily destined for U.S. refineries under allocated country quotas.
Quota Raw Cane Sugar Solids
Raw cane sugar in solid form, compliant with subheading note 2 (69°-93° polarimeter, natural microcrystals with molasses), entered under additional U.S. note 5 quota. Subject to Secretary of Agriculture determinations and USTR country allocations. Used for domestic refining without added flavoring.
Note 5 Cane Sugar Solids
Raw cane sugar solids described in and entered pursuant to additional U.S. note 5, meeting subheading 1701.13 criteria without centrifugation. Features natural anhedral microcrystals surrounded by molasses. Quota-managed for domestic supply balance.
Allocated Quota Cane Sugar
Raw cane sugar from USTR-allocated countries under note 5, solid form with polarimeter 69°-<93° sucrose, non-centrifuged per note 2. Irregular microcrystals with molasses residues define its raw state. Entered for consumption within fiscal year limits.
Fiscal Year Raw Cane Quota
Raw cane sugar entered during fiscal year under note 5 aggregate limit (min 1,117,195 MT raw value), solid with subheading note 2 specs. Polariscope-tested for sucrose content <99.5°. Supports U.S. supply when domestic inadequate.
