Subheading Notes. 1. For the purposes of subheadings 1701.12, 1701.13 and 1701.14, "raw sugar" means sugar whose content of sucrose by weight, in the dry state, corresponds to a polarimeter reading of less than 99.5 °. 2. Subheading 1701.13 covers only cane sugar obtained without centrifugation, whose content of sucrose by weight, in the dry state, corresponds to a polarimeter reading of 69 ° or more but less than 93 °. The product contains only natural anhedral microcrystals, of irregular shape, not visible to the naked eye, which are surrounded by residues of molasses and other constituents of sugar cane. National Notes. 1. For the purposes of subheadings 1701.12, 1701.13 and 1701.14, the test method of sugar polarimeter reading shall be followed in the manner specified in the ICUMSA(International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis) GENERAL
This Chapter covers not only sugars as such (e.g., sucrose, lactose, maltose, glucose and fructose), but also sugar syrups, artificial honey, caramel, molasses resulting from the extraction or refining of sugar and sugar confectionery.
