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 Proclamations 6763 (60
FR 1007) and 7235 (64 FR 55611).
On July 11, 2022, the FAS announced an additional in-quota quantity
of the TRQ for raw cane sugar for the remainder of FY 2022 (ending
September 30, 2022) in the amount of 90,718 metric tons raw value
(MTRV) (conversion factor: 1 metric ton raw value = 1.10231125 short
tons raw value). This quantity is in addition to the minimum amount to
which the United States is committed under the WTO Uruguay Round
Agreements (1,117,195 MTRV). The FAS also has determined that all sugar
entering the United States under the FY 2022 raw sugar TRQ will be
permitted to enter the U.S. Customs territory through October 31, 2022,
a month later than the usual last entry date. USTR is allocating this
additional quantity of 90,718 MTRV to the following countries in the
