HS Code 1701.14 – Sugars; cane sugar, raw, in solid form, other than as specified in Subheading Note 2 to this chapter, not containing added flavouring or colouring matter
HS code 1701.14 is the 6-digit subheading for sugars, cane sugar, raw, in solid form, other than as specified in Subheading Note 2 to this chapter, not containing added flavouring or colouring matter. It is used for raw cane sugar (not meeting Subheading Note 2), unrefined cane sugar, bulk industrial cane sugar, brown cane sugar (raw, unflavored) and turbinado sugar (raw, unflavored).
What HS 1701.14 covers
This category encompasses raw cane sugar in solid form that does not meet the precise technical specifications outlined in Subheading Note 2 of Chapter 17, yet remains raw and free from added flavoring or coloring. This often includes raw sugars with slightly different polarization or ash content, or those intended for specific industrial applications that do not require the 'standard' raw sugar definition. Like 1701.13, it is a significant bulk commodity traded globally, primarily between sugar-producing nations and major refining or food manufacturing hubs. Importers and exporters largely mirror those for 1701.13, with Brazil, Thailand, and Australia being key suppliers, and the USA, EU, and China acting as major buyers. Trade dynamics are heavily influenced by global supply and demand, commodity prices, and regional trade agreements, reflecting its role as a foundational ingredient in the food industry.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
