H.S. Code Description 

2106.90.05 .......................................................... Flavored syrups or with added coloring matters (except syrups which have a sugar content 

less than 90%). 

Export Markets 

U.S.-origin sugar for which 

Certificates of Prior Approval (‘‘CPAs’’) 

are allocated will be exported only to 

Mexico. 

Export Trade Activities and Methods of 

Operation 

The ASA will allocate CPAs to any 

Producer that requests CPAs. 

CPA Administration 

The ASA will allocate all CPAs at one 

time. In the event that any CPAs are 

returned to ASA for any reason, ASA 

will reallocate those CPAs among 

interested Producers. 

Certificate System 

Under the procedures for the TRQ 

published on October 16, 2006, in the 

Mexican Diario Oficial, an importer in 

Mexico must file with the Mexican 

Government a CPA issued by ASA to 

obtain a license to allow U.S.-origin 

sugar to enter into Mexico free of duty 

under the TRQ. The ASA shall allocate 

CPAs among all Producers who express 

an interest in obtaining the CPAs, based 

on each Producer’s share of total U.S. 

sugar refining capacity in 2006, as 

reported to ASA. The ASA shall issue 

CPAs to such Producers. 

CPAs issued by ASA shall be freely 

transferable by Producers. Transfers of 

CPAs after they are issued by ASA will 

be subject to the normal application of 

antitrust laws. 

Confidential Information 

Each Member may provide to the ASA 

information regarding its capacity to 

produce refined sugar in the United 

States for the purpose of calculating the 

allocation of CPAs. 

Allocation of CPAs will not involve 

any agreement or exchange of sensitive 

information among Members. Annual 

U.S. refining capacity information is 

currently available to the ASA, and no 

further information should be necessary. 

If additional information should be 

required, and this information is nonpublic, company-specific business 

information, ASA shall consider the 

information to be ‘‘confidential’’, and 

ASA shall maintain its confidentiality. 

ASA shall not disclose this confidential 

information to any party other than the 

submitter, or to any officers, agents, or 

employees of any party other than the 

submitter, and shall not disclose 

confidential information to any other 

person except to another neutral third 

party as necessary to make the 

determination for which the information 

was submitted, to allocate CPAs, or in 

connection with reports to the 

Department of Commerce as required by 

the Export Trade Certificate of Review 

or the arbitration of a dispute. 

Cooperation With the U.S. and Mexican 

Governments 

The ASA will consult with the U.S. 

Government and the Government of 

Mexico when necessary and provide to 

them whatever information may be 

useful in order to facilitate cooperation 

between the governments concerning 

the implementation and operation of the 

CPA System. Furthermore, directly or 

through the U.S. Government, the ASA 

will endeavor to accommodate any 

information requests from the 

Government of Mexico (while protecting 

confidential information entrusted to 

the ASA), and will consult with the 

Government of Mexico as appropriate.
