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 June 15, 2015, the Secretary also
announced the establishment of the inquota quantity of the FY 2016 refined
sugar TRQ at 132,000 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 110,000 MTRV
for specialty sugars. USTR is allocating
the refined sugar TRQ as follows: 10,300
MTRV of refined sugar to Canada, 2,954
MTRV to Mexico, and 7,090 MTRV to be
administered on a first-come, firstserved 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
110,000 MTRV. The first tranche of
1,656 MTRV will open October 9, 2015.
All types of specialty sugars are eligible
for entry under this tranche. The second
tranche of 27,500 MTRV will open on
October 23, 2015. The third, fourth, and
fifth tranches of 27,500 MTRV each will
open on January 8, 2016, April 8, 2016
and July 8, 2016, 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
U.S. Note 8 to chapter 17 of the HTS,
USTR is allocating 59,250 MT to
Canada. The remainder, 5,459 MT, of
the in-quota quantity is available for
other countries on a first-come, firstserved basis.
Raw cane sugar, refined and specialty
sugar and sugar-containing products for
FY 2016 TRQs may enter the United
States as of October 1, 2015.
