Souleymane.Diaby@usda.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 13, 2021, the Foreign 

Agricultural Service established the FY 

2022 TRQ for raw cane sugar at 

1,117,195 MTRV, the minimum to 

which the United States is committed 

under the World Trade Organization 

(WTO) Uruguay Round Agreements. 

Pursuant to Additional U.S. Note 5 to 

Chapter 17 of the U.S. Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule (HTS) and Section 359k 

of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 

1938, as amended, the Secretary has 

authority to modify the raw and refined 

sugar WTO TRQs. The Secretary’s 

authority under Additional U.S. Note 5 

and Section 359(k) 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). The Foreign 

Agricultural Service gives notice today 

of an increase in the quantity of raw 

cane sugar eligible to enter at the lower 

rate of duty during FY 2022 by 90,718 

MTRV. The conversion factor is 1 metric 

ton raw value equals 1.10231125 short 

tons raw value. With this increase, the 

overall FY 2022 raw sugar TRQ is now 

1,207,913 MTRV. Raw cane sugar under 

this quota must be accompanied by a 

certificate for quota eligibility. The 

Office of the U.S. Trade Representative 

(USTR) will allocate this increase 

among supplying countries and customs 

areas. 

The Foreign Agricultural Service also 

today announces that all sugar entering 

the United States under the FY 2022 

WTO raw sugar TRQ will be permitted 

to enter U.S. Customs territory through 

October 31, 2022, a month later than the 

usual last entry date. Additional U.S. 

Note 5(a)(iv) of Chapter 17 of the HTS 

provides: ‘‘(iv) Sugar entering the 

United States during a quota period 

established under this note may be 

charged to the previous or subsequent 

quota period with the written approval 

of the Secretary.’’ These actions are 

being taken after a determination that 

additional supplies of raw cane sugar 

are required in the U.S. market. USDA 

will closely monitor stocks, 

consumption, imports and all sugar 

market and program variables on an 

ongoing basis and may make further 

program adjustments during FY 2022 if 

needed.

Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service.

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.

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 2023. 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. The Office of the United Trade 

Representative will allocate these 

quantities among supplying countries 

and customs areas.
