Subheading Notes
1.
For the purposes of subheading 1701.12, 1701.13 and 1701.14 "raw sugar" means sugar whose content of sucrose by mass, 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 mass, 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.
