1703.90.50.00 - Other

This HTS code, 1703.90.50.00, specifically classifies "Other" molasses that results from the extraction or refining of sugar, but does not fall under the specified uses of its sibling category. This "other" classification is intended for molasses that is not imported for the direct commercial extraction of sugar or for human consumption.

The key distinction from the sibling category 1703.90.30.00 lies in the intended use. While that category is reserved for molasses destined for specific downstream processing into sugar or for direct consumption, this category encompasses molasses that may be used for other industrial purposes, such as animal feed, fermentation into alcohol for non-food purposes, or as a component in other manufactured goods not covered by the more specific sibling entry.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification under 1703.90.50.00 hinges on the definitive exclusion from the enumerated uses of its immediate sibling. Importers must carefully consider the end-use of their molasses to ensure accurate classification.
