Consultation on the administration of new quotas for sugar exports to the U.S.

May 6, 2020

Global Affairs Canada is seeking input from Canadians on the administration of two new Tariff Rate Quotas (TRQs) for sugar and sugar-containing products exported to the United States established under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA).

The purpose of the consultation is to hear stakeholders' views specifically on the administration of these quotas, including the allocation methodology, the eligibility criteria, the return policy, the reallocation policy and the under-utilization policy.

The information collected will assist Global Affairs Canada to develop administration policies for the new TRQs under CUSMA.

Stakeholders have until 11:59 p.m. (Pacific Time) on May 15, 2020 to submit their responses, comments, and suggestions.
