Refinery-Grade Raw Cane Sugar for Re-Export
Raw cane sugar intended for U.S. refining then re-export in refined form or sugar products, meeting 93-99.5° polarimeter specs without added flavors. Classified in 1701.14.20.00 for substitution of domestic sugar exports, requiring USDA oversight and bonds. Not for domestic consumption.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If beet sugar equivalent
Raw beet sugar uses parallel subheading with similar quota but different origin-based allocations.
If non-centrifuged cane sugar
Lower polarity (69-93°) or uncentrifuged forms classify separately with distinct microcrystal specs.
If containing >65% sugars in syrup
Processed cane sugar syrups over quota thresholds shift to syrup subheadings.
