                 Subpart B_Sugars, Sirups, and Molasses

 

Sec.  151.23  Allowance for moisture in raw sugar.



    Inasmuch as the absorption of sea water or moisture reduces the 

polariscopic test of sugar, there shall be no allowance on account of 

increased weight of raw sugar importations due to unusual absorption of 

sea water or other moisture while on the voyage of importation. Any 

portion of the cargo claimed by the importer to have absorbed sea water 

or moisture on the voyage of importation shall be weighed, sampled, and 

tested separately. No such claim shall be considered if made after the 

sugar claimed to have been damaged has been weighed.
