SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to Additional U.S. Note 5 to
chapter 17 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS), the United States maintains WTO TRQs for imports of raw cane
and refined sugar. Section 404(d)(3) of the Uruguay Round Agreements
Act (19 U.S.C. 3601(d)(3)) authorizes the President to allocate the in-
quota quantity of a TRQ for any agricultural product among supplying
countries or customs areas. The President delegated this authority to
the U.S. Trade Representative under Presidential Proclamation 6763 (60
FR 1007).
On September 13, 2021, the Secretary of Agriculture established the
FY 2022 TRQ for imported raw cane sugar at the minimum to which the
United States is committed pursuant to the WTO Uruguay Round Agreements
(1,117,195 metric tons raw value (MTRV) conversion factor: 1 metric ton
= 1.10231125 short tons). On September 16, 2021, USTR provided notice
of country-by-country allocations of the FY 2022 in-quota quantity of
the WTO TRQ for imported raw cane sugar. See 86 FR 51712. Based on
consultation with quota holders, the U.S. Trade Representative has
determined to reallocate 201,551 MTRV of the original TRQ quantity from
those countries that have stated they do not plan to fill their FY 2022
allocated raw cane sugar quantities. The U.S. Trade Representative is
allocating the 201,551 MTRV to the following countries in the amounts
specified below:
