Raw Cane Sugar, Solid, No Added Flavoring or Coloring (NESOI)

Falling outside the Subheading Note 2 technical criteria, this NESOI raw cane sugar heading captures the broadest volume of unrefined cane sugar traded into the US and is the primary vehicle for TRQ-governed bulk sugar imports. Its five 10-digit lines — 1701140000, 1701141020, 1701141040, 1701142000, and 1701145000 — distinguish organic from conventional sugar, additional US note threshold entries, and sugar destined for polyhydric alcohol production or refinery re-export. Mexico, Australia, and Brazil are the leading suppliers, with the Dominican Republic and El Salvador also among top sources. FDA admissibility requirements apply; importers should work with a licensed customs broker to navigate TRQ allocation and organic certification documentation.
