Indian Raw Cane Sugar Solids
Raw cane sugar in solid form from India, with sucrose content corresponding to a polarimeter reading between 69° and 99.5°, obtained without centrifugation. It contains natural anhedral microcrystals surrounded by molasses residues, classifying it under 1701.13.50 as other cane sugar per subheading note 2. This tariff covers raw sugar not fitting more specific quota categories.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If from sugar beets instead of cane
Beet-derived raw sugar with similar polarization falls under 1701.14, distinguished by source plant per HTS headings.
If polarization 99.5° or higher
Sugar meeting or exceeding 99.5° sucrose threshold is chemically pure or refined, shifting to other sugars in 1701.99.
If containing added flavoring or coloring
Presence of additives excludes it from raw sugar provisions, classifying under flavored raw cane sugar in 1701.12.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify polarimeter reading (69°-99.5°) via lab testing before entry to confirm classification and raw value for quota purposes
• Obtain Secretary of Agriculture quota allocation certificate if applicable; track fiscal year limits to avoid over-quota duties
• Declare exact sucrose content and ensure no added flavoring/coloring; common pitfall is mislabeling as refined sugar
