Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 170114 when importing or exporting raw cane sugar in solid form, such as bulk shipments of unrefined sugar. This code applies specifically to sugar not containing added flavoring or coloring, making it suitable for various food production processes.
This code is distinct from HS-6 170113, which covers raw cane sugar but may include specific additives. If your product is purely raw cane sugar without any enhancements, 170114 is the correct classification.
The HS-6 170114 classification includes sugar in its natural state, typically packaged in large sacks or bulk containers. It is primarily used in food manufacturing, baking, and beverage production.
When considering shipping, ensure that the product documentation clearly states 'raw cane sugar' to avoid misclassification. This will help prevent delays or issues with customs inspections.
