HS v2022 Code: 170199

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

HS code 170199 covers the trade 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 represents a significant portion of the international sugar trade, which is a crucial component of the broader agricultural and food processing sectors. The production and distribution of refined sucrose impacts a wide range of downstream industries, making it an important economic driver worldwide.

Production process

The production of refined sucrose covered under HS code 170199 typically involves the extraction of sugar from sugarcane or sugar beets, followed by a series of purification and crystallization processes. Key steps include milling, clarification, evaporation, and centrifugation to remove impurities and concentrate the sugar solution. The resulting pure sucrose crystals are then dried and packaged for distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of refined sucrose under HS code 170199 include sugarcane or sugar beets as the primary raw material, as well as water, energy sources, and specialized processing equipment such as mills, evaporators, and centrifuges. Additional inputs may include chemicals for the clarification and purification processes, as well as packaging materials.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 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 sucrose produced under this code may be further processed or incorporated into other HS codes, such as 170211 Lactose, in solid form or 170490 (Sugar confectionery (including white chocolate), not containing cocoa).
