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

This HTS category encompasses cane or beet sugar in solid form that has had coloring matter added, but no flavoring matter. These are typically sugars that have undergone a process to impart a specific color, such as for decorative purposes in confectionery or baking, without altering their taste profile. The key defining characteristic is the presence of added coloring agents while the absence of added flavorings.

This classification is specifically distinguished from its sibling category 1701.91.05.00, which covers sugar with added coloring that also meets the provisions of general note 15 of the tariff schedule. Furthermore, it differs from the "Other" sibling category 1701.91.30.00, which would capture any sugar with added coloring that does not fall under the specific provisions of the other sibling or this particular category.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification relies on the precise determination of whether coloring matter has been added and whether any flavoring matter has also been introduced. If both coloring and flavoring are present, it would be classified elsewhere.
