<h1>Export controls for raw and refined sugar (HS 17011490/17019990) set restricted permissions, quotas, and annual caps.</h1> Chapter 17 prescribes classification and export controls for sugars and sugar confectionery under ITC(HS), including exclusions for cocoa-containing confectionery, certain chemically pure sugars, and medicaments, and defines 'raw sugar' for specified sub-headings by polarimeter/sucrose parameters; this determines correct tariff classification. It designates most Chapter 17 items as freely exportable but subjects exports of sugar under HS 17011490 and 17019990 to a 'Restricted' status requiring specific permission from the Directorate of Sugar and compliance with procedures issued by DFPD; exports are thereby permitted only under authorisation. It provides quota-based exceptions for exports to the EU (CXL) and to the USA/UK (TRQ), operated with specified certification and reporting and subject to quantitative ceilings, and permits pharma grade sugar exports only under restricted authorisation with an annual 25,000 MT cap and specified licensing/testing safeguards; it also allows organic sugar exports under these HS codes subject to an overall ceiling of 50,000 MT per financial year under APEDA modalities.
