1701.91.05.00 - Described in general note 15 of the tariff schedule and entered pursuant to its provisions 🖩

This classification covers pure sucrose, derived from cane or beet sugar, in solid form, that has been specifically colored but does not contain any added flavoring agents. These are sugars that have undergone a manufacturing process to impart a specific hue without the addition of taste enhancers. The key defining characteristic is the presence of added coloring matter as the sole modification to the pure sucrose, distinguishing it from uncolored or flavored alternatives.

This category is specifically differentiated from its sibling, 1701.91.10.00, by the absence of added flavoring matter. While both subcategories fall under "Containing added coloring but not containing added flavoring matter," the sibling category has specific entry provisions outlined in additional U.S. note 5 to this chapter, which this current classification does not adhere to. The "Other" sibling category (1701.91.30.00) encompasses all other sugars fitting the broader "Containing added coloring but not containing added flavoring matter" description that do not meet the criteria for the specifically noted sibling.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories to explore. The classification is definitive for any solid, pure sucrose containing added coloring but devoid of added flavoring, and not falling under any specific pre-defined import provisions. Its classification relies on the precise absence of added flavoring alongside the presence of added coloring.
