Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

1701.12.10Same rate: 17.5%

If beet sugar equivalent

Raw beet sugar uses parallel subheading with similar quota but different origin-based allocations.

1701.13.20Same rate: 17.5%

If non-centrifuged cane sugar

Lower polarity (69-93°) or uncentrifuged forms classify separately with distinct microcrystal specs.
