USTR Announces Revised FY 2006 Tariff-Rate Quota Sugar Allocations, Agreement with Mexico on Market Access on Sweeteners

08/03/2006

The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) today announced the allocations for the increased Fiscal Year (FY) 2006 tariff-rate quotas for refined sugar and specialty sugar.

In addition, USTR announced the country-by-country allocations of the in-quota quantity of the tariff-rate quotas for imported raw cane sugar, refined sugar, specialty sugar and sugar-containing products for FY 2007 (Oct. 1, 2006 and Sept. 30, 2007).

A tariff-rate quota is an import policy that allows countries to ship specified quantities of a product to the United States at a relatively low tariff, but subjects all other imports of that product to a higher tariff.
