Last updated: April 2026 dataChemically pure sucrose and refined cane or beet sugar without added flavoring or coloring that do not fall under earlier headings are captured here — a broad residual category with eleven 10-digit lines addressing TRQ-eligible entries, organic grades, drawback-eligible shipments, and sugar not intended for further processing. Mexico and Brazil are the leading US suppliers, with Guatemala, Argentina, and Colombia also present in the supply mix. The heading's drawback lines (1701992020 and 1701992040) are particularly relevant for manufacturers who re-export finished goods and seek duty recovery on the sugar input. FDA jurisdiction applies as a food commodity, and classification complexity across the eleven lines makes professional customs guidance advisable.

Lines 1701991025 and 1701995025 cover sugar entered specifically as not intended for further industrial processing — a use-based distinction that affects TRQ eligibility and duty treatment. Importers must be prepared to substantiate the end-use claim through documentation such as purchase orders or end-user certificates, as CBP may request verification.
Lines 1701992020 and 1701992040 apply to refined or improved sugar entered under drawback provisions, allowing manufacturers to recover duties paid on imported sugar when the sugar is incorporated into goods that are subsequently exported. Claiming drawback requires meticulous recordkeeping linking the imported sugar to the exported finished product, and the process is governed by CBP's drawback regulations under 19 CFR Part 191.
