Determination of Total Amounts of Fiscal Year 2024 WTO Tariff-Rate Quotas for Raw Cane Sugar and Certain Sugars, Syrups and Molasses

Because the specialty sugar TRQ is first-come, first-served, tranches are needed to allow for orderly marketing throughout the year. The FY 2024 specialty sugar TRQ will be opened in five tranches. The first tranche, totaling 1,656 MTRV, will open October 2, 2023. All specialty sugars are eligible for entry under this tranche. The second tranche of 60,000 MTRV will open on October 9, 2023. The third tranche of 60,000 MTRV will open on January 19, 2024. The fourth tranche of 45,000 MTRV will open on April 15, 2024. The fifth tranche of 45,000 MTRV will open on July 15, 2024. The second, third, fourth, and fifth tranches will be reserved for organic sugar and other specialty sugars not currently produced commercially in the United States or reasonably available from domestic sources.
