The government has allocated quantity of 8,606 metric tonnes raw value (MTRV) for export of raw cane sugar to the US under the tariff-rate quota (TRQ) scheme for the October 2024 - September 2025 period. Shipments under the TRQ enjoy relatively lesser customs duties. After the quota is reached, a higher tariff applies to additional imports. A similar quantity was notified in January also.
India, the world's second-biggest producer and the largest consumer of sugar, has a preferential quota arrangement for sugar export with the European Union as well. The quota will be operated by the Agriculture and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA).
Certificate of Origin, if required, for preferential export of sugar to USA shall be issued by Additional Director General of Foreign Trade, Mumbai on recommendation of APEDA regarding entity and quantity for which eligible. Other certification requirement, if any, prescribed specifically for export of sugar to USA would continue to be followed.
