HS v2017 Code: 170191

About sugars; sucrose, chemically pure, in solid form, containing added flavouring or colouring matter

HS code 170191 covers the import and export of sugars, specifically chemically pure sucrose in solid form that has been combined with added flavoring or coloring agents. This industry plays a crucial role in the global food and beverage sector, providing essential sweetening ingredients for a wide range of products. As a highly traded commodity, the production and trade of these specialized sugars have significant economic implications, both for individual countries and the broader international market.

Production process

The production of sugars covered under HS code 170191 typically involves the extraction and purification of sucrose from sugarcane or sugar beet sources. The raw sugar is then further refined and processed to remove any impurities, resulting in a chemically pure sucrose product. The addition of flavoring or coloring agents is a final step in the manufacturing process, tailoring the sugar to specific customer or market requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 170191 sugars include raw sugarcane or sugar beets, as well as various processing chemicals and equipment. Specialized machinery for extraction, purification, and blending with additives is essential to the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, energy sources, and a reliable transportation infrastructure to support the supply chain.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 170191 is chemically pure sucrose in solid form, with added flavoring or coloring agents. These specialized sugars are widely used as ingredients in the production of 170490 Sugars and sugar confectionery; other and 210690 Food preparations; n.e.c. in item no. 2106.10, as well as in the manufacture of various 220190 Waters; other than mineral waters and aerated waters, containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavoured, 220290 Waters; including mineral waters and aerated waters, containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavoured, and 210500 Ice cream and other edible ice, whether or not containing cocoa, among other food and beverage products.
