Section 404(d)(3) of the World Trade 

Organization (WTO) Uruguay Round 

Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. 3601(d)(3)) 

authorizes the President to allocate the 

in-quota quantity of a TRQ for any 

agricultural product among supplying 

countries or customs areas. The 

President delegated this authority to the 

United States Trade Representative in 

Presidential Proclamation 6763 (60 FR 

1007). 

On September 13, 2013, the Secretary 

of Agriculture (Secretary) announced 

the sugar program provisions for fiscal 

year (FY) 2014 (Oct. 1, 2013, through 

Sept. 30, 2014). The Secretary 

announced an in-quota quantity of the 

TRQ for raw cane sugar for FY 2014 of 

1,117,195 metric tons * raw value 

(MTRV), which is the minimum amount 

to which the United States is committed 

to provide access for under the WTO 

Uruguay Round Agreements. USTR is 

allocating this quantity (1,117,195 

MTRV) to the following countries in the

Country 

FY 2014 Raw 

cane sugar 

allocations 

(MTRV) 

Zimbabwe ............................. 12,636 

These allocations are based on each 

country’s historical shipments to the 

United States. The allocations of the inquota quantities of the raw cane sugar 

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 September 13, 2013, the Secretary 

announced the establishment of the inquota quantity of the FY 2014 refinedsugar TRQ at 122,000 MTRV for which 

the sucrose content, by weight in the 

dry state, must have a polarimeter 

reading of 99.5 degrees or more. The 

total of 122,000 MTRV includes the 

minimum level necessary to comply 

with the US WTO Uruguay Round 

commitments—22,000 MTRV, of which 

1,656 MTRV is reserved for specialty 

sugars—and an additional 100,000 

MTRV for specialty sugars. USTR is 

allocating 12,050 MTRV of refined sugar 

to Canada and 8,294 MTRV of refined 

sugar to be administered on a first-come, 

first-served 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 under the 

U.S. WTO commitment plus an 

additional 100,000 MTRV. The first 

tranche of 1,656 MTRV will open 

October 10, 2013. All types of specialty 

sugars are eligible for entry under this 

tranche. The second tranche of 37,000 

MTRV will open on October 24, 2013. 

The third, fourth, and fifth tranches of 

21,000 MTRV each will open on January 

10, 2014; April 10, 2014; and July 10, 

2014, 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 remaining 5,459 MT of the 

in-quota quantity is available to other 

countries on a first-come, first-served 

basis. 

Raw cane sugar, refined and specialty 

sugar and sugar-containing products for 

FY 2014 TRQs may enter the United 

States as of October 1, 2013.
