Edible Black Treacle Molasses from Mexico
Black treacle is a semi-refined cane molasses byproduct with caramel-like flavor, imported for human consumption in desserts and sauces. HTS 1703.90.30.00 covers this as 'other' molasses from sugar refining, intended for direct culinary use rather than sugar recovery. It retains natural impurities from extraction.
