About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

HTS code 1701.14.20.00 encompasses "other cane sugar" that meets specific, narrowly defined criteria for its intended use. This category is distinct from raw cane sugar that has a more general purpose or is intended for direct consumption. The defining characteristic here is the sugar's designated role in specialized industrial processes or specific trade programs, rather than its direct use as a sweetener in food products.

This classification differentiates itself from its siblings by its explicit purpose. While 1701.14.05.00 and 1701.14.10.00 are defined by their entry pursuant to specific tariff schedule provisions and additional U.S. notes, 1701.14.20.00 focuses on the sugar's intended application. It is specifically for use in the production of polyhydric alcohols (excluding those intended as sugar substitutes in food), for refining and re-export, or as a substitute for domestically produced raw cane sugar that is slated for export. The catch-all sibling, 1701.14.50.00 ("Other"), would apply to cane sugar that does not meet these precise use-based requirements.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 1701.14.20.00 relies entirely on a thorough understanding of the sugar's intended downstream use as outlined in the description. Importers and exporters must be able to substantiate the declared purpose of the sugar to ensure correct classification and compliance.
