Under the Sugar-Containing Products Re-Export Program, USDA issues licenses to U.S. manufacturers of SCP to purchase refined sugar from refiners with refined sugar re-export licenses for use in SCP to be exported to the world market. Under the Polyhydric Alcohol Program, USDA issues licenses to U.S. producers of polyhydric alcohols to purchase refined sugar from refiners with refined sugar re-export licenses for use in the production of polyhydric alcohols, except polyhydric alcohols used as a substitute for sugar in human food consumption.
