Certified Organic Beet Granulated Sugar
Fine granulated sugar derived from certified organic sugar beets, purified to chemically pure sucrose in solid crystal form. It qualifies for HTS 1701.99.10.15 as a specialty organic sugar entered under U.S. note 5 provisions, distinguishing it from standard refined beet sugar. Beet origin and organic certification trigger this quota-specific classification.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not certified organic but still specialty
Specialty sugars without organic certification fall into residual 'other' category in the same heading.
If raw beet sugar with <99.5° polarization
Unrefined raw beet sugar classifies under 1701.14 based on polarimeter reading, not specialty.
If prepared for retail with over 65% sugar
Retail-packaged high-sugar articles may shift to Chapter 21 if not purely sucrose.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm beet sugar polarity via polarimeter (typically near 100°) and calculate raw value using Treasury formula for quota
• Attach third-party organic certification valid for U.S. entry; non-compliance results in duty escalation

Certified Organic Cane Turbinado Sugar
Turbinado sugar is a minimally refined cane sugar with large golden crystals, retaining some molasses flavor and certified organic under USDA standards. It falls under HTS 1701.99.10.15 as a specialty sugar from cane, entered pursuant to additional U.S. note 5 quota provisions for certified organic sugars in solid form. This classification applies to its high sucrose content and organic certification without further processing.
Certified Organic Raw Cane Sugar Crystals
Large crystal raw cane sugar from certified organic sources, with polarity just under 99.5° but solid and quota-eligible. Falls under HTS 1701.99.10.15 as certified organic specialty sugar per U.S. note 5, for direct consumption rather than refining. Organic farming practices ensure no synthetic inputs.
Certified Organic Demerara Sugar
Demerara sugar consists of light brown crystals from certified organic cane juice, evaporated and spun to retain natural flavor. Classified in HTS 1701.99.10.15 as a certified organic specialty sugar under U.S. note 5, due to its solid form, high sucrose polarity, and quota entry status. It meets chemically pure sucrose criteria without centrifugation residues.
Certified Organic Coconut Palm Sugar
Granular sugar from certified organic coconut palm sap, boiled down to solid form with sucrose content meeting chemically pure standards. HTS 1701.99.10.15 covers it as a specialty organic sugar under quota provisions, despite palm origin, due to solid sucrose structure. Palm sugars qualify if processed to high purity without additives.
Certified Organic Date Sugar
Powdered sugar milled from dried certified organic dates, achieving chemically pure sucrose equivalent in solid form. Classified in HTS 1701.99.10.15 as organic specialty sugar under quota, valued for natural fruit sugar profile. Processing removes pits and fibers to meet purity standards.
