Products classified under HTS 1703.90.50.00
Blackstrap Molasses
Blackstrap molasses is the dark, viscous byproduct obtained from the third extraction of sugar from sugarcane during refining, retaining high levels of minerals and residual sugars. It falls under HTS 1703.90.5000 as 'other' molasses resulting from sugar extraction or refining, distinct from cane or beet molasses specified elsewhere. Primarily used in animal feed, baking, and health supplements.
Refinery Blackstrap Molasses
Refinery blackstrap molasses is produced during the final crystallization stages of sugarcane refining, with low sugar content and high viscosity. Classified in HTS 1703.90.5000 as other molasses from sugar refining processes. Commonly exported in bulk for industrial uses like fermentation and feed.
Cane Refinery Molasses Grade B
Grade B cane refinery molasses results from sugarcane sugar extraction with moderate sugar recovery, featuring unsulphured composition and molasses residues. It is categorized under HTS 1703.90.5000 for other non-solidified molasses from refining. Used in baking, rum production, and livestock supplements.
Edible Refinery Molasses
Edible refinery molasses is a partially refined sugarcane byproduct suitable for human consumption in foods like gingerbread and marinades. HTS 1703.90.5000 covers it as other molasses from sugar refining, excluding retail-packaged goods. Its dark color and robust flavor come from repeated sugar extractions.
Industrial Cane Molasses
Industrial cane molasses is a thick syrup from sugarcane refining used in ethanol production, yeast manufacturing, and adhesives. Classified under HTS 1703.90.5000 as other refinery molasses, not for direct consumption. High ash and mineral content from extraction residues.
Unsulphured Cane Molasses
Unsulphured cane molasses from sugar extraction avoids chemical sulphitation, preserving natural flavor for baking and feed. HTS 1703.90.5000 includes it as other molasses from refining operations. Lower impurities make it premium for organic uses.
Sugar Beet Refinery Molasses
Although Chapter 17 distinguishes sources, some mixed refinery molasses from beet processing fall under 'other' if not pure beet. HTS 1703.90.5000 captures non-cane, non-standard molasses from refining. High betaine content used in fermentation.
Feed Grade Refinery Molasses
Feed grade refinery molasses from sugar extraction provides energy for livestock, with added palatability. HTS 1703.90.5000 for other molasses excludes formulated feeds. Bulk powder or liquid form for mixing.
Organic Refinery Molasses
Organic refinery molasses from certified sugarcane refining meets USDA organic standards, free of synthetic inputs. Under HTS 1703.90.5000 as other sugar extraction molasses. Used in organic baking and soil amendments.
High Test Molasses
High test molasses (HTM) from sugarcane inversion has higher fermentable sugars from partial refining. HTS 1703.90.5000 covers it as other refinery molasses. Key for bioethanol production.
