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

HS v2022 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 ingredients for a wide range of products. As a highly processed and value-added commodity, sugars under this code are an important component of the broader 170000 Sugars and sugar confectionery industry.

Production process

The production of sugars under HS code 170191 typically involves the extraction and purification of sucrose from sugarcane or sugar beets. The raw sugar is then further refined, often through a process of crystallization, to achieve the desired level of chemical purity. The addition of flavoring and coloring agents is a final step in the manufacturing process, tailoring the product to specific market demands.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 170191 sugars include sugarcane or sugar beets as the primary raw material, as well as various processing chemicals, equipment, and energy sources. Specialized machinery for refining, crystallization, and blending with additives is also a key component of the production process.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 170191 is chemically pure sucrose in solid form, with added flavoring or coloring agents. This product is widely used as an ingredient in the 180600 Chocolate and other food preparations containing cocoa, 190190 Preparations for infant use, put up for retail sale, and 210690 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included industries, among others.
