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

HS code 170113 covers raw cane sugar in solid form, which is a crucial commodity in the global food and beverage industry. As a major agricultural product, cane sugar plays a significant role in the economies of many countries, particularly those with large sugar cane production. This code is essential for tracking international trade flows and understanding the dynamics of the global sugar market.

Production process

The production of raw cane sugar involves several key steps. First, sugar cane is harvested and transported to a sugar mill. The cane is then washed, shredded, and crushed to extract the sugar-rich juice. The juice is then clarified, evaporated, and crystallized to produce raw sugar. The raw sugar is then centrifuged to separate the crystals from the molasses, resulting in the final product covered by this HS code.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of raw cane sugar under HS code 170113 include sugar cane as the primary raw material, as well as various processing equipment such as crushers, evaporators, and centrifuges. Energy sources, such as steam or electricity, are also essential for the various stages of production. Additionally, chemicals like lime or sulfur may be used for the clarification and purification of the sugar juice.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 170113 is raw cane sugar in solid form, which is then further processed and refined for use in a wide range of food and beverage products. The refined sugar produced from this raw material may be classified under other HS codes, such as 170111 Sugars; cane or beet sugar, refined, in solid form or 170199 Sugars; other, including chemically pure sucrose, in solid form.

Revisions to 170113

Classification codes are adjusted frequently. The code may have been revised or replaced between system versions. The table below shows the history (newest to oldest) of the code 170113. The most recent 1 version of this code (170113) is in the HS v2022 system (this version):
