Answer
One US tablespoon (14.8 ml) of granulated sugar weighs 12.5 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169655 “Sugars, granulated”, portion “1 cup” = 200 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons.

1/3 US tablespoon of granulated sugar is also 1 US teaspoon — the same 4.17 grams.
This is the level US tablespoon of 14.8 ml. A recipe from Australia means the tablespoon of 20 ml, 35.3 % more: 5.64 grams; the metric tablespoon of 15 ml (UK, New Zealand, Canada) gives 4.23 grams.
How 1/3 tablespoon of granulated sugar was converted to grams
One US tablespoon of granulated sugar weighs 12.5 grams (twelve point five), so multiply 1/3 by 12.5.
1/3 × 12.5 g
≈4.17 grams
(four point one seven grams)
The weight of the tablespoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169655 “Sugars, granulated”, portion “1 cup” = 200 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a tablespoon weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.

The other way round: how many tablespoons a weight fills
This page starts from tablespoons and answers in grams. The opposite question — how many tablespoons a weight from a recipe fills — is what the grams to tablespoons converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: 100 grams of granulated sugar is 8 tablespoons there.
