Overview
HTS code 1701.13.20.00 specifically classifies raw cane sugar that does not contain added flavoring or coloring matter and meets particular use criteria. This sugar is intended for specialized industrial applications, including the production of polyhydric alcohols (excluding those for food consumption as sugar substitutes) or for refinement and subsequent re-export. It also covers sugar intended to substitute for domestically produced raw cane sugar that has been or will be exported.
This classification is distinct from its siblings by its focus on the intended downstream use. While sibling categories 1701.13.05.00 and 1701.13.10.00 are defined by specific tariff schedule notes and provisions related to special entry conditions, 1701.13.20.00 is determined by the specific commercial or industrial purpose of the raw cane sugar. Category 1701.13.50.00, "Other," serves as a residual category for raw cane sugar not meeting the specific use criteria outlined here or in the other sibling subheadings.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. The classification is finalized at this level based on the precise criteria of the raw cane sugar's intended application, as detailed in the description. Importers and exporters must therefore ensure that documentation clearly supports the stated use to correctly classify goods under this heading.
