USTR is providing notice of the allocations of the Fiscal Year 2027 in-quota quantities of the tariff-rate quota for imported raw cane sugar, covering October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. The changes made by the notice are applicable as of September 23, 2026. The notice does not state the allocated quantities or the countries receiving them.
Executive Order 14425 of September 4, 2026 directs the Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of the Interior, the U.S. Trade Representative, the Commissioner of Food and Drugs and the Administrator of the Small Business Administration to submit a report to the President within 90 days assessing agency regulations, guidance and policies affecting ranchers and recommending action on financial viability and market access.
President Trump issued Proclamation 11059 on August 26, 2026, increasing the 2026 aggregate in-quota quantity for certain beef products described in Additional U.S. Note 3 of Chapter 2 of the HTSUS by 300,000 mt, allocated entirely to "other countries or areas."
Why it matters: Importers of lean beef trimmings under HTSUS 0201.30.5091, 0201.30.5097, 0202.30.5091 and 0202.30.5097 can enter the additional 300,000 mt at the in-quota rate in three 30-day tranches beginning September 1, 2026, on a first come, first served basis.
