U.S. imports of refined cane or beet sugar and chemically pure sucrose, solid, no added flavoring or coloring (nesoi) (HS 170199) totaled $32.9M in April 2026, traded with 44 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataEncompassing the widest range of refined solid sugars without flavoring or coloring, this heading's eleven 10-digit lines reflect the US sugar program's layered structure: lines distinguish special-use sugars, organic versus conventional grades, additional US note thresholds, drawback-eligible entries, and sugars not intended for further processing. Mexico and Brazil are the leading suppliers, with Guatemala, Argentina, and Colombia also among top sources — a supplier mix that reflects both CAFTA-DR and Mercosur-adjacent trade flows. The heading's complexity, particularly around drawback provisions and the "not for further processing" designation, makes precise classification and quota management critical for food manufacturers and commodity traders alike. FDA admissibility requirements apply; consult a licensed customs broker for entry and TRQ guidance.

Lines 1701991025 and 1701995025 are reserved for refined sugar that will not undergo additional industrial processing after importation — typically sugar sold directly into retail or food-service channels. Sugar intended for use as an industrial ingredient in further manufacturing generally falls under different lines, and misclassification can affect both duty liability and TRQ eligibility.
Mexico and Brazil are the leading suppliers under this heading, followed by Guatemala, Argentina, and Colombia. Many of these origins benefit from preferential TRQ allocations under US free trade agreements or the sugar program's country-specific quota system.
