1701.99.10 - Described in additional U.S. note 5 to this chapter and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS classification, 1701.99.10, specifically covers raw cane or beet sugar and chemically pure sucrose, in solid form, that are not otherwise specified within Chapter 17. The key differentiator for this code is the reference to "additional U.S. note 5 to this chapter," indicating that the entry of these goods must comply with specific provisions outlined in that note. This often pertains to certain types of raw sugar imports or sugars subject to specific tariff rate quotas.

While other "other" categories exist at this level, such as 1701.99.05.00 (which refers to general note 15) and 1701.99.50 (a catch-all for other unspecified sugars), this particular subheading is distinguished by its direct reliance on the conditions stipulated in additional U.S. note 5. Importers must verify that their sugar products meet the precise requirements of this note to correctly apply this classification.

The subcategories following this code are divided into "Specialty sugars" and "Other." This further breakdown allows for more granular classification of sugars that may possess unique characteristics or intended uses beyond standard refined or raw sugar, and these will be detailed in subsequent classifications.
