1701.99.10.17 - Other

This HTS subheading covers specialty sugars that meet the criteria outlined in additional U.S. note 5 to Chapter 17 and are entered in accordance with its provisions. These sugars are typically defined by specific physical or chemical characteristics, processing methods, or intended end-uses that differentiate them from standard granulated sugars. Examples might include sugars with unique crystal structures, specific moisture content, or those processed for particular culinary applications.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 1701.99.10.15 (Certified organic), the key difference lies in the certification requirement. While certified organic sugars are a distinct subset of specialty sugars, this subheading encompasses a broader range of specialized sugar types that are not necessarily certified as organic but are recognized for other unique attributes under the specified U.S. note.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 1701.99.10.17 depends on a precise determination that the imported sugar meets the detailed specifications and entry requirements referenced in additional U.S. note 5 for Chapter 17. Importers must consult this note to ensure proper documentation and compliance for these specialized sugar products.
