the 2020 Administrative Review 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) continues to find that the 

signatories, the Government of Mexico 

(GOM), and the respondent companies 

selected for individual examination, 

respectively, Impulsora Azucarera Del 

Tro ́pico, S.A. de C.V. and its affiliate 

(collectively, Grupo Del Tropico), and 

Ingenio Huixtla SA de C.V. and its 

affiliates (collectively, Grupo Porres) 

(together, we refer to Grupo Del Tropico 

and Grupo Porres as ‘‘Respondents’’), 

were in compliance with the terms of 

the Agreement Suspending the 

Countervailing Duty Investigation on 

Sugar from Mexico, as amended (CVD 

Agreement), during the period of review 

(POR) from January 1, 2020, through 

December 31, 2020, except for certain 

instances of inconsequential noncompliance. Commerce also continues 

to find that the CVD Agreement met the 

statutory requirements under sections 

704(c) and (d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act) during the POR. 

However, we intend to address certain 

issues identified in this review by 

opening consultations with the GOM 

under Section VIII.D.4 of the CVD 

Agreement. 

DATES: Applicable July 6, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 7, 2022, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results of 

this administrative review.1

On February 14, 2022, the American 

Sugar Coalition and its members 

(petitioners) 2 and Respondents filed 

case briefs, and the GOM filed a letter 

in lieu of a case brief.3

On February 22, 2022, petitioners and 

Respondents filed rebuttal briefs, and 

the GOM filed a letter in lieu of a 

rebuttal brief.4

Scope of the CVD Agreement 

The product covered by this CVD 

Agreement is raw and refined sugar of 

all polarimeter readings derived from 

sugar cane or sugar beets. Merchandise 

covered by this CVD Agreement is 

typically imported under the following 

headings of the HTSUS: 1701.12.1000, 

1701.12.5000, 1701.13.1000, 

1701.13.5000, 1701.14.1020, 

1701.14.1040, 1701.14.5000, 

1701.91.1000, 1701.91.3000, 

1701.99.1015, 1701.99.1017,

1702.90.4000.5 The tariff classification 

is provided for convenience and 

customs purposes; however, the written 

description of the scope of this CVD 

Agreement is dispositive.6

Analysis 

Commerce continues to determine 

that the CVD Agreement met the 

statutory requirements under sections 

704(c) and (d) of the Act, during the 

POR. We also continue to find, based on 

record evidence, that the GOM and 

Respondents, Grupo Del Tropico and 

Grupo Porres, were in compliance with 

the terms of the CVD Agreement during 

the POR, except for certain instances of 

inconsequential non-compliance. 

During the review, Commerce identified 

issues related to recordkeeping and 

certain complex transactions referred to 

as ‘‘swap transactions.’’ We intend to 

consult with the GOM under Section 

VIII.D.4 of the CVD Agreement 

(‘‘Operations Consultations’’) to ensure 

compliance with the CVD Agreement. 

Such consultations are necessary to 

demonstrate adherence to the statutory 

requirements of the CVD Agreement and 

to ensure that any potential 

administrative challenges to effective 

monitoring are diminished. 

The issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs are addressed in the 

accompanying Issues and Decision 

Memorandum and business proprietary 

memorandum.7 The issues are 

identified in the Appendix to this 

notice. The Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is a public document and 

is on file electronically via Enforcement 

and Compliance’s Antidumping and

Background 

On January 7, 2022, Commerce

Scope of the AD Agreement 

The product covered by this AD 

Agreement is raw and refined sugar of 

all polarimeter readings derived from 

sugar cane or sugar beets. Merchandise 

covered by this AD Agreement is 

typically imported under the following 

headings of the HTSUS: 1701.12.1000, 

1701.12.5000, 1701.13.1000, 

1701.13.5000, 1701.14.1020,

1702.90.4000.5 The tariff classification 

is provided for convenience and

description of the scope of this AD

Analysis 

Commerce continues to find, based on 

record evidence, that Respondents, 

Impulsora Del Tropico and Ingenio 

Huixtla, were in compliance with the 

terms of the AD Agreement during the 

POR. We also determine that the AD 

Agreement met the statutory 

requirements under sections 734(c) and 

(d) of the Act, during the POR. However, 

during the review, Commerce identified 

issues related to recordkeeping and 

certain complex transactions referred to 

as ‘‘swap transactions.’’ We intend to 

consult with the Signatories to the AD 

Agreement under Section VII.E.2 

(Operations Consultations) to ensure 

sufficient recordkeeping with respect to 

swap transactions. Such recordkeeping 

is necessary to demonstrate compliance 

with the AD Agreement and to ensure 

that any potential administrative 

challenges to effective monitoring are 

diminished. 

The issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs are addressed in the 

accompanying Issues and Decision 

Memorandum and business proprietary 

memorandum.7 The issues are 

identified in the Appendix to this 

notice. The Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is a public document and
