1701.99.05.00 - Described in general note 15 of the tariff schedule and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS classification, 1701.99.05.00, pertains to cane or beet sugar and chemically pure sucrose in solid form, specifically falling under the "Other" subcategory of "Other." The defining characteristic of this classification is that the sugar is entered pursuant to the provisions of general note 15 of the tariff schedule. This note typically outlines specific conditions, requirements, or exemptions related to the importation of sugar products, often tied to international agreements, quota management, or specific end-use certifications.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. HTS 1701.99.10, for example, covers sugar meeting the criteria of additional U.S. note 5 to this chapter, which implies a different set of import conditions or product specifications. HTS 1701.99.50, designated as "Other," would encompass any remaining sugars and sugar confectionery within the broader 1701.99 group that do not meet the specific criteria of either 1701.99.05.00 or 1701.99.10.

As a leaf node, 1701.99.05.00 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the practical classification hinges on accurately meeting the requirements stipulated by general note 15. Importers must ensure that all necessary documentation and adherence to the specified provisions are in place to correctly classify their sugar products under this subcategory.
