Sport Question about carbs in nutritional info

Sport Fitness
I've always wanted to ask this, but kept forgetting.

You know how on the nutritional info box you have totals carbs, and then as a subheading there's total sugars...

Well, does that mean, that if you take away the amount of sugars from the cars, you'll get the amount of complex carbs in that food?
 
in a very vague way, yes that's true.

Here in teh US, our labels have to include Fiber and Sugar, which usually gets you much closer to the total carb count.
starchy carbs and alcohol carbs are neither sugar nor fiber, which can account for those 'missing grams'.
