About sugars; cane sugar, raw, in solid form, other than as specified in subheading note 2 to this chapter, not containing added flavouring or colouring matter

HS code 170114 covers raw cane sugar in solid form, excluding the type specified in Subheading Note 2 to Chapter 17 of the Harmonized System. This industry is a crucial component of the global sugar supply chain, providing a fundamental raw material for a wide range of food and beverage products. Cane sugar production is a significant economic activity, particularly in regions with favorable climates for sugarcane cultivation.

Production process

The production of raw cane sugar under HS code 170114 involves several key steps. Sugarcane is first harvested, then transported to a mill or factory. At the processing facility, the sugarcane is washed, shredded, and the juice is extracted. The juice undergoes clarification, evaporation, and crystallization processes to produce raw sugar crystals. These crystals are then centrifuged to separate the molasses, resulting in the final raw cane sugar product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of raw cane sugar under HS code 170114 include sugarcane as the primary raw material, as well as water, energy sources (such as steam or electricity), and specialized machinery and equipment for the various processing stages. Skilled labor is also a crucial input, particularly for operating and maintaining the production equipment.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 170114 is raw cane sugar in solid form. This raw sugar is an essential ingredient for a wide range of food and beverage products, including 170199 Sugars; cane or beet sugar and chemically pure sucrose, in solid form, 170111 Sugars; cane or beet sugar and chemically pure sucrose, in solid form, raw, and 170191 Sugars; cane or beet sugar and chemically pure sucrose, in solid form, containing added flavouring or colouring matter. The raw cane sugar produced under this code may also be further refined and processed for use in other industries.
