Indian Raw Cane Sugar Solids
Raw cane sugar in solid form derived from Indian sugarcane, with sucrose content by weight in dry state corresponding to a polarimeter reading of 99.5 degrees or more, not from beet sources. It falls under HTS 1701.14.50 as other raw cane sugar without added flavoring or coloring, distinct from centrifuge-free varieties in 1701.13.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If obtained without centrifugation
Non-centrifuged cane sugar with 69°-93° polarimeter reading and natural anhedral microcrystals falls under 1701.13 per subheading note.
If from beets
Raw beet sugar, regardless of processing, is classified in 1701.12, changing the heading based on source crop.
If refined or containing impurities
Sugar not qualifying as raw (e.g., higher purity or additives) shifts to other sugars in 1701.99.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify polarimeter reading meets 99.5°+ sucrose threshold via lab testing before entry; obtain USDA quota license if applicable
• Calculate raw value using Treasury formula (0.93 factor minimum) to avoid over-quota duties
• Ensure no added flavors/coloring to prevent reclassification
