Question about Net Carbs

I'm starting a low carb diet for the first time and have a question about net carbs. For example, Love Crunch Granola nutrition label says:
(Granola isn't something I plan on eating on this diet, it's just an example)

Per serving
18g total carbs
2g dietary fiber
6g sugar

My question is, where are the carbs that are not accounted for? The sugar and fiber=8g carbs, so where are the other 10g? I read something about Sugar Alcohol being subtracted from net carbs but am confused about what is what.

Also, when I'm adding up my carbs for the day, do I only add up sugar carbs? For example, 1 serving of this Love Crunch Granola would only count for 6g of carbs?
