Subheadings
Products classified under HTS 1701.99.50
Turbinado Sugar
Turbinado sugar is a partially refined cane sugar with large golden crystals retaining some molasses flavor and natural impurities. It falls under HTS 1701.99.50 as 'other' cane or beet sugar in solid form that does not meet the specific criteria for raw sugar subheadings like 1701.12-1701.14 or highly refined 1701.99.10. This classification applies to specialty sugars beyond standard granulated or raw types.
Demerara Sugar
Demerara sugar consists of light brown crystals from cane sugar with minimal refining, preserving a crunchy texture and caramel taste from residual molasses. Classified in 1701.99.50 as other solid form sugar not fitting raw or pure sucrose categories. It's commonly used in baking and coffee.
Muscovado Sugar
Muscovado sugar is unrefined cane sugar retaining full molasses content, appearing dark brown and moist with sticky crystals. It qualifies for HTS 1701.99.50 as other cane sugar in solid form outside raw sugar polarimeter specs. Ideal for rum production and traditional baking.
Panela Sugar Blocks
Panela consists of solid blocks of unrefined cane sugar juice evaporated without separation of molasses crystals. HTS 1701.99.50 covers this as other solid sugar not defined as raw. Traditional in Latin American cuisine.
Organic Cane Sugar Crystals
Organic cane sugar in crystal form, minimally processed to retain impurities while meeting organic standards. Falls in 1701.99.50 as other non-raw, non-pure solid sugar. Certified organic labeling doesn't change HTS classification.
Beet Sugar Granules
Granulated sugar derived from sugar beets, not chemically pure but suitable for general use. HTS 1701.99.50 captures other beet sugars beyond raw or pure categories. Differs from cane in production but same tariff treatment.
Golden Caster Sugar
Fine golden caster sugar from cane, lightly refined for baking with subtle molasses notes. Classified 1701.99.50 as other solid sugar not raw or pure. Smaller crystals than turbinado.
Jaggery Sugar Lumps
Jaggery lumps are solid blocks of uncentrifuged cane sugar traditional in Indian cooking. HTS 1701.99.50 for other cane sugars in solid form. High molasses content.
Light Brown Sugar Crystals
Light brown sugar crystals with 3-5% molasses added back post-refining. 1701.99.50 as other not chemically pure. Common baking ingredient.
Specialty Beet Sugar Powder
Powdered beet sugar for niche uses, not ultra-fine confectioners'. 1701.99.50 covers other solid forms. Particle size irrelevant to heading.
