Turbinado Sugar from Canada

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.

Obtain USDA import license if subject to quota allocations under Additional U.S

Note 3; track raw value calculations carefully

Label as 'turbinado' or 'demerara-style' to avoid misclassification as table sugar; watch for molasses residue levels
