Overview
This HTS category, 1701.14.10, specifically covers "Other cane sugar" that is raw, meaning it does not contain added flavoring or coloring matter, and is entered pursuant to additional U.S. note 5 to chapter 17. This designation signifies a specific type of raw cane sugar that meets particular criteria outlined in U.S. trade regulations, setting it apart from general raw sugar.
It's important to differentiate this classification from its siblings. Unlike 1701.14.05.00, which pertains to sugar entered under general note 15, or 1701.14.20.00, which designates sugar for specific industrial uses like polyhydric alcohol production or re-export, this category focuses on raw cane sugar meeting the provisions of additional U.S. note 5. The sibling 1701.14.50.00 is a residual category for "other" raw cane sugars not otherwise specified.
Within this classification, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on specific attributes. The subcategories, 1701.14.10.20 for "Certified organic" and 1701.14.10.40 for "Other," allow for more precise identification. This distinction is crucial for importers and customs officials to accurately categorize the sugar based on its production methods and regulatory compliance.
