SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 11, 2022, the Foreign Agricultural
Service established the FY 2023 TRQ for raw cane sugar at 1,117,195
MTRV, the minimum to which the United States is committed under the
World Trade Organization (WTO) Uruguay Round Agreements. Pursuant to
Additional U.S. Note 5 to Chapter 17 of the U.S. Harmonized Tariff
Schedule (HTS) and section 359k of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of
1938, as amended, the Secretary has authority to modify the raw and
refined sugar WTO TRQs. The Secretary's authority under Additional U.S.
Note 5 and section 359(k) has been delegated to the Under Secretary for
Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs (7 CFR 2.26). The Under
Secretary has subsequently delegated this authority to the
Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (7 CFR 2.601). The Foreign
Agricultural Service gives notice today of an increase in the quantity
of raw cane sugar eligible to enter at the lower rate of duty during FY
2023 by 125,000 MTRV. The conversion factor is 1 metric ton raw value
equals 1.10231125 short tons raw value. With this increase, the overall
FY 2023 raw sugar TRQ is now 1,242,195 MTRV. Raw cane sugar under this
quota must be accompanied by a certificate for quota eligibility. The
Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) will allocate this
increase among supplying countries and customs areas.
These actions are being taken after a determination that additional
supplies of raw cane sugar are required in the U.S. market. USDA will
closely monitor stocks, consumption, imports and all sugar market and
program variables on an ongoing basis and may make further program
adjustments during FY 2023 if needed.
Daniel Whitley,
Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service.
