DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Office of the Secretary


Fiscal Year 2022 Raw Cane Sugar Tariff-Rate Quota Extension of 
the Entry Period

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of the Secretary is providing notice of an 
extension of the fiscal year (FY) 2022 raw cane sugar tariff-rate quota 
(TRQ) entry period.

DATES: This notice is applicable on September 9, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Souleymane Diaby, Multilateral Affairs 
Division, Trade Policy and Geographic Affairs, Foreign Agricultural 
Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Stop 1070, 1400 Independence 
Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20250-1070; by telephone (202) 720-2916; or 
by email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of the Secretary announces that 
all sugar entering the United States under the FY 2022 World Trade 
Organization raw sugar TRQ will be permitted to enter U.S. Customs 
territory through December 31, 2022, two months later than the 
previously announced entry date. Additional U.S. Note 5(a)(iv) of 
chapter 17 of the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule provides: ``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.'' The Secretary's authority under 
Additional U.S. Note 5 has been delegated to the Under Secretary for 
Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs (7 CFR 2.15). That authority, in 
turn, has been delegated to the Deputy Under Secretary for TFAA under 
certain circumstances (7 CFR 2.600). This action is 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.

Jason Hafemeister,
Acting Deputy Under Secretary, Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs.
