1Additional increases in the TRQ were not allocated to Barbados, the Dominican Republic, India, Panama and the Philippines at this time because market conditions indicate they are unable to supply additional sugar. 2The additional allocation amount is zero for the ten minimum quota-holding countries including: Congo, Cote D’Ivoire, Gabon, Haiti, Madagascar, Mexico, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, St. Kitts & Nevis, and Uruguay. The previously announced minimum allocation for these countries

exceeds the base import quota plus any additional increases in the tariff-rate quota.

Conversion factor: 1 metric ton=1.10231125 short tons.

Acting United States Trade Representative.
