These allocations are based on each country’s historical shipments to theUnited 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 Secretaryannounced 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 beadministered 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.
