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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If lower polarization 69-93° without centrifugation
Non-centrifuged cane sugar with visible molasses crystals and lower sucrose qualifies as 1701.13, a separate raw category.
If refined but under sugar content quota
If processed to higher purity (>99.5°), it becomes refined cane sugar under 1701.91 with TRQ restrictions.
If in liquid syrup form
Same sugar if dissolved into syrup changes to Chapter 17 heading 1702 for sugar syrups.

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.
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.
Polarimeter 99.4° Raw Cane Sugar
Raw cane sugar testing 99.4 degrees sucrose by polarimeter in dry state, solid form for General Note 15 TRQ import. Qualifies as other cane sugar without added matter, part of aggregate raw value quota system. Used primarily for further refining.
