SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

provisions of paragraph (a)(i) of the 

Additional U.S. Note 5, Chapter 17 in 

the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule 

(HTS) authorize the Secretary to 

establish the in-quota tariff-rate quota 

(TRQ) amounts (expressed in terms of 

raw value) for imports of raw cane sugar 

and certain sugars, syrups, and molasses 

that may be entered under the 

subheadings of the HTS subject to the 

lower tier of duties during each fiscal 

year. The Office of the U.S. Trade 

Representative (USTR) is responsible for 

the allocation of these quantities among 

supplying countries and areas. 

Section 359(k) of the Agricultural 

Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, 

requires that at the beginning of the 

quota year the Secretary of Agriculture 

establish the TRQs for raw cane sugar 

and refined sugars at the minimum 

levels necessary to comply with 

obligations under international trade 

agreements, with the exception of 

specialty sugar. 

The Secretary’s authority under 

paragraph (a)(i) of the Additional U.S. 

Note 5, Chapter 17 in the HTS and 

Section 359(k) of the Agricultural 

Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, 

has been delegated to the Under 

Secretary for Trade and Foreign 

Agricultural Affairs (7 CFR 2.26). The 

Under Secretary has subsequently 

delegated this authority to the 

Administrator, Foreign Agricultural 

Service (7 CFR 2.601). 

Notice is hereby given that I have 

determined, in accordance with 

paragraph (a)(i) of the Additional U.S. 

Note 5, Chapter 17 in the HTS and 

section 359(k) of the 1938 Act, that an 

aggregate quantity of up to 1,117,195 

MTRV of raw cane sugar may be entered 

or withdrawn from warehouse for 

consumption during FY 2022. This is 

the minimum amount to which the 

United States is committed under the 

WTO Uruguay Round Agreements. The 

conversion factor is 1 metric ton raw 

value equals 1.10231125 short tons raw 

value. I have further determined that an 

aggregate quantity of 222,000 MTRV of 

sugars, syrups, and molasses (refined 

sugar) may be entered or withdrawn 

from warehouse for consumption during 

FY 2022. This quantity includes the 

minimum amount to which the United 

States is committed under the WTO 

Uruguay Round Agreements, 22,000 

MTRV, of which 20,344 MTRV is 

established for any sugars, syrups and 

molasses, and 1,656 MTRV is reserved 

for specialty sugar. An additional 

amount of 200,000 MTRV is added to 

the specialty sugar TRQ for a total of 

201,656 MTRV. 

Because the specialty sugar TRQ is 

first-come, first-served, tranches are 

needed to allow for orderly marketing 

throughout the year. The FY 2022 

specialty sugar TRQ will be opened in 

five tranches. The first tranche, totaling 

1,656 MTRV, will open October 1, 2021. 

All specialty sugars are eligible for entry 

under this tranche. The second tranche 

of 60,000 MTRV will open on October 

8, 2021. The third tranche of 60,000 

MTRV will open on January 21, 2022. 

The fourth tranche of 40,000 MTRV will 

open on April 15, 2022. The fifth 

tranche of 40,000 MTRV will open on 

July 15, 2022. 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.

Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service.
