Sugar Clause Samples
Sugar. 1. If a rule of origin requires that the net weight of non‑originating sugar used in production not exceed a specified threshold, the product satisfies this condition if the total net weight of all mono‑saccharides and di‑saccharides contained in the product, or in the materials used in production, does not exceed this threshold.
2. The product also satisfies the condition in paragraph 1 if the threshold is not exceeded by the net weight of non‑originating sugar classified in heading 17.01 or subheading 1702.30 through 1702.60 or 1702.90 other than malto‑dextrin, chemically pure maltose, or "colouring" caramel, as described in the explanatory notes to heading 17.02, when used as such in the production of:
(a) the product; and
(b) the non‑originating sugar‑containing materials classified in subheading 1302.20, 1704.90, 1806.10, 1806.20, 1901.90, 2101.12, 2101.20, 2106.90, and 3302.10 that are used as such in the production of the product. Alternatively, the net weight of all mono‑saccharides and di‑saccharides contained in any of these sugar‑containing materials may also be used. If the net weight of the non‑originating sugar used in the production of these sugar containing materials or the net weight of mono‑saccharides and di‑saccharides contained in these sugar‑containing materials is not known, the total net weight of these materials used as such in production must apply.
3. The net weight of any non‑originating sugar as referred to in paragraph 2 may be calculated on a dry weight basis.
4. For the purpose of the rules of origin for heading 17.04 and 18.06, the value of non‑originating sugar refers to the value of the non‑originating material referred to in paragraph 2 that is used in production of the product.
