1701.99.50.50 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 1701.99.50.50, falls under "Other" within the broader category of "Other" sugars. It is specifically intended for cane or beet sugar and chemically pure sucrose in solid form that does not fit into more specific subheadings within Chapter 17. This designation signifies a residual category for sucrose that is not otherwise classified, typically due to its intended use or form not being explicitly detailed in preceding codes.

Crucially, this code distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 1701.99.50.25, which specifically designates sugar "not for further processing." The current category, 1701.99.50.50, encompasses sucrose in solid form that may or may not be intended for further processing, but lacks other defining characteristics for more precise classification. This includes, for instance, sucrose that is intended for industrial use but not specifically excluded by other subheadings, or sucrose that might be in a less refined state than some other categories but not meeting the criteria for "raw" sugars.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within 1701.99.50.50 relies on a thorough examination of the sugar's physical characteristics, any accompanying documentation regarding its intended use, and ensuring it does not meet the criteria for any more narrowly defined HTS codes within Chapter 17. This residual classification serves as a catch-all for solid sucrose that has been chemically analyzed to be pure sucrose but does not fit more specific descriptors.
