Organic Cane Sugar Granules from China
Granulated organic cane sugar derived from sugarcane, with a sucrose content over 99.5 degrees polarimeter reading, packaged in retail bags for direct consumer use. It falls under HTS 1701.99.50.25 as beet or cane sugar in solid form, not chemically pure sucrose, and specifically designated as not for further processing, meaning it's ready for end-use consumption without refinement.

Import Tips
• Verify sucrose polarity exceeds 99.5 degrees via lab testing to confirm classification; obtain any required USDA quota licenses under Additional U.S
• Note 3
• Avoid mislabeling as 'for processing' to prevent reclassification and penalties
