13 Oct 2022 Evaluate

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has permitted the export of specified quantity of raw sugar to the US under the Tariff-Rate Quota (TRQ) till December-end this year. The validity for export of raw sugar has been extended from September 30, 2022 to December 31, 2022.

In May, the government permitted additional export of 2,051 metric tonne of raw sugar under the TRQ to the US for its fiscal year ending September 30, 2022.  With this quantity, total sugar export to the US under TRQ during its fiscal year 2022 would be 10,475 MT.

TRQ is a quota for a volume of exports that enters the US at relatively low tariffs. After the quota reaches its limit, a higher tariff is applicable to additional shipments. Meanwhile, India has a preferential quota arrangement for sugar export with the European Union as well.
