Organic Cane Molasses from Mexico
Organic cane molasses is certified free from pesticides and synthetic additives, derived from the sugar extraction process in organic sugarcane farming and refining. It fits HTS 1703.10.50.00 as other cane molasses, used in organic foods, fertilizers, and supplements. Organic status doesn't alter base classification but requires additional certification.
