HS v2017 Code: 170199

About sugars; sucrose, chemically pure, in solid form, not containing added flavouring or colouring matter

HS code 170199 covers the classification of refined, chemically pure sucrose in solid form. Sucrose is a vital commodity in the global food and beverage industry, serving as a key sweetener and ingredient. This code encompasses a wide range of sugar products, from granulated table sugar to specialty sugars used in confectionery, baking, and other food processing applications. As a highly traded commodity, the production and trade of HS 170199 sugars play a significant role in the broader agricultural and food economies worldwide.

Production process

The production of HS 170199 sugars typically involves the extraction and purification of sucrose from sugarcane or sugar beet. The main steps include harvesting, milling, clarification, evaporation, and crystallization to obtain the pure, solid sucrose product. Advanced techniques such as ion exchange and membrane filtration may also be employed to further refine the sugar and remove any impurities.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of HS 170199 sugars are sugarcane or sugar beets, which serve as the raw material. Additionally, the industry requires various processing equipment, such as mills, evaporators, and centrifuges, as well as utilities like water, steam, and electricity. Specialized chemicals may also be used in the clarification and purification stages of production.

Production outputs

The main output of HS 170199 is refined, chemically pure sucrose in solid form, which is then used as a sweetener and ingredient in a wide range of food and beverage products. The refined sugar may be further processed into other sugar products, such as 170111 Cane sugar, raw, in solid form, 170112 Beet sugar, raw, in solid form, or 170191 Sugars; sucrose, chemically pure, in solid form, depending on the specific requirements of the end-use industries.
