Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If non-centrifugal with 69-93° polarimeter reading
Lower polarization cane sugar without centrifugation falls under separate 1701.13 quota subheading.
If in syrup or liquid form rather than solid
Sugar dissolved in liquid moves to heading 1702 for syrups/molasses, outside solid raw sugar classification.
If entered outside note 5 quota provisions
Non-quota raw sugar uses 1701.14.50 with substantially higher duty rates.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Secure country-specific allocation certificate from USTR via USDA before import to ensure quota eligibility
• Calculate raw value using Treasury formula (0.93 factor minimum) for entry declaration accuracy
• Avoid molasses residue exceeding raw sugar specs to prevent shift to 1701.13 non-centrifugal category
