Raw Cane Sugar, Solid, No Added Flavoring or Coloring (Subheading Note 2)

Classified specifically under Subheading Note 2 to Chapter 17, this raw cane sugar heading covers sugar meeting defined polarimetric and other technical criteria that qualify it for particular TRQ treatment distinct from other raw cane sugar lines. The five 10-digit tariff lines under this heading — including 1701130000, 1701130500, 1701131000, 1701132000, and 1701135000 — reflect distinctions such as general-note eligibility, additional US note thresholds, and use for polyhydric alcohol production or refinery re-export. Colombia and Panama lead US supply under this heading, with El Salvador, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic also among top sources. FDA admissibility requirements apply to all food-grade sugar imports; consult a licensed customs broker for TRQ allocation and classification guidance.
