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

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.
