Raw Cane Sugar for Quota Import
Raw cane sugar with a polarimeter reading of 99 degrees or above but less than 99.5 degrees sucrose content, imported under the TRQ provisions of General Note 15. This solid form sugar is unrefined and lacks added flavoring or coloring, qualifying as 'other cane sugar' for tariff-rate quota entry. It meets the specific criteria for subheading 1701.14.05 to access lower duty rates.
TRQ-Eligible Solid Cane Sugar
Solid raw cane sugar specifically described in General Note 15, featuring sucrose content between 99-99.5 degrees polarization in dry state. Imported pursuant to quota provisions for controlled access to U.S. market, distinguishing it from over-quota or refined entries. No flavoring or coloring ensures classification as raw other cane sugar.
General Note 15 Raw Cane Sugar
Raw cane sugar in solid form entered under General Note 15 provisions, with sucrose polarization of 99 degrees or more but under 99.5 degrees. This subheading supports tariff-rate quota imports for domestic supply needs, excluding specialty or refined sugars. Purity specs prevent reclassification as other products.
Quota Raw Other Cane Sugar
Solid raw cane sugar classified as 'other' under 1701.14, meeting General Note 15 for TRQ entry with 99-99.5° sucrose by polarimeter. Designed for quota-controlled imports to balance domestic refining capacity. Lacks additives, ensuring solid raw form compliance.
Solid Form TRQ Cane Sugar 99°
Raw cane sugar in solid form with exactly 99° polarimeter reading, entered pursuant to General Note 15 quota provisions. This 'other cane sugar' supports U.S. refining industry under controlled volumes. Meets subheading specs excluding flavor/color additives.
