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 degrees.
2. Subheading 1703.13 covers only cane sugar obtained without centrifugation, whose content of sucrose by weight, in the dry state, corresponds to a polarimeter reading of 69 degrees or more but less than 93 degrees. The product contains only natural anhedral microcrystals, or irregular shape, not visible to the naked eye, which are surrounded by residues of molasses and other constituents of sugar cane.
Statistical Note
1. Heading 1703 does not include products derived from sugar cane or sugar beet and containing soluble non-sugar (excluding any foreign substance that may have been added or developed in the product) equal to 6 percent or less by weight of the total soluble solids.
