1703.10.50.00/First Crop Cane Molasses/Japan

First Crop Cane Molasses from Japan

First crop cane molasses, also known as light or edible molasses, results from the initial sugarcane extraction with higher sugar content and lighter color, extracted during the first boiling in refining. Classified under HTS 1703.10.50.00 as other cane molasses, it's used in confectionery, rum production, and health foods. It meets the criteria as a direct byproduct from sugar refining, not qualifying for feed-specific subheadings.
