The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) on Thursday announced the country-by-country and first-come, first-served allocations for tariff-rate quotas for imported raw cane sugar, refined sugar, and sugar-containing products in fiscal year 2027.
The quotas are part of long-standing U.S. agreements made under a World Trade Organization (WTO) agreement.
The quotas fill the period from Oct. 1, 2026, through Sept. 30, 2027. They allow foreign suppliers to ship set volumes of sugar into the United States at lower duty rates. Any shipments above those volumes, however, are required to pay higher tariffs.
On July 14, the Agriculture Department’s Foreign Agricultural Service established the in-quota quantity for raw cane sugar at 1,117,195 metric tons raw value, matching the minimum the United States agreed to allocate as part of WTO rules. USTR allocated 1,061,202 metric tons of that total among 39 countries and territories, with the remaining 55,993 metric tons to be assigned ahead of the Oct. 1 deadline, when raw cane, refined including specialty, and sugar-containing products may begin entering under the new quotas….
