1701.14.50.00 - Other

This HTS code, 1701.14.50.00, encompasses "Other" raw cane sugar that does not fall under the specific provisions or uses detailed in its sibling categories. It represents raw cane sugar intended for general consumption or industrial use, where no special duty treatment or end-use declaration is required. The key characteristic is that it is raw cane sugar, in solid form, and does not contain added flavoring or coloring matter, aligning with the broader definition of raw sugar under subheading 1701.14.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Codes 1701.14.05.00 and 1701.14.10 are reserved for sugars meeting specific general or additional U.S. notes, often related to preferential trade agreements or special entry requirements. Furthermore, 1701.14.20.00 designates raw cane sugar with a specific intended industrial use: for the production of polyhydric alcohols (with certain exceptions) or for refining with subsequent re-exportation. The "Other" category, 1701.14.50.00, serves as the residual classification for raw cane sugar that does not qualify for these specialized provisions.

As a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions under 1701.14.50.00. This means that any raw cane sugar fitting the general description of raw cane sugar not containing added flavoring or coloring matter, and not meeting the specific criteria of the preceding sibling codes, will be classified here. Classification professionals should carefully review the specific terms and conditions associated with the sibling categories to ensure accurate placement, as the "Other" category is intended for all remaining qualifying raw cane sugar.
