These allocations are based on the
countries’ historical shipments to the
United States. The allocations of the inquota quantities of the raw cane sugar
TRQ to countries that are net importers
of sugar are conditioned on receipt of
the appropriate verifications of origin,
and certificates for quota eligibility must
accompany imports from any country
for which an allocation has been
provided.
On July 30, 2010, the Secretary
announced the establishment of the inquota quantity of the FY 2011 refined
sugar TRQ at 99,111 MTRV for which
the sucrose content, by weight in the
dry state, must have a polarimeter
reading of 99.5 degrees or more. This
amount includes the minimum level to
which the United States is committed
under the WTO Uruguay Round
Agreements (22,000 MTRV of which
1,656 MTRV is reserved for specialty
sugar) and an additional 77,111 MTRV
for specialty sugars. USTR is allocating
a total of 10,300 MTRV of refined sugar
to Canada, 2,954 MTRV of refined sugar
to Mexico, and 7,090 MTRV of refined
sugar to be administered on a first-come,
first-served basis.
Imports of all specialty sugar will be
administered on a first-come, firstserved basis in five tranches. The
Secretary has announced that the total
in-quota quantity of specialty sugar will
be the 1,656 MTRV included in the
WTO minimum plus an additional
77,111 MTRV. The first tranche of 1,656
MTRV will open October 20, 2010. All
types of specialty sugars are eligible for
entry under this tranche. The second
tranche of 27,500 MTRV will open on
November 10, 2010. The third, fourth,
and fifth tranches of 16,537 MTRV each
will open on January 12, 2011, May 18,
2011 and August 24, 2011, respectively.
The second, third, fourth and fifth
tranches will be reserved for organic
sugar and other specialty sugars not
currently produced commercially in the
United States or reasonably available
from domestic sources.
With respect to the in-quota quantity
of 64,709 metric tons (MT) of the TRQ
for imports of certain sugar-containing
products maintained under Additional
