Last updated: July 2026 dataRaw cane sugar in solid form is one of the most tightly quota-managed agricultural commodities in the US tariff schedule, with the majority of import volume entering under the sugar tariff-rate quota (TRQ) administered jointly by USTR and USDA. Mexico is the leading supplier, followed by the Dominican Republic and Brazil, with country-specific TRQ allocations governing how much each origin may ship at the lower in-quota duty rate. The US schedule distinguishes organic raw cane sugar (1701141020), sugar destined for polyhydric alcohol production or refiner re-export (1701142000), and general NESOI raw cane sugar (1701145000), each carrying different duty treatment. Importers must secure a valid TRQ license or certificate before entry, and over-quota shipments face substantially higher duties that can render trade uneconomical.

USTR allocates country-specific TRQ volumes annually, and importers must obtain a license or certificate from the exporting country's government to enter sugar at the lower in-quota duty rate. Once a country's allocation is filled, additional shipments face the over-quota rate, which is set at a level that effectively limits commercial imports. Quota fill rates and remaining volumes are tracked by CBP and USDA.
Line 1701142000 covers raw cane sugar imported specifically for the production of polyhydric alcohols (such as sorbitol) or for refining and subsequent re-export. This end-use provision typically requires the importer to file an end-use bond or certificate with CBP demonstrating that the sugar will be used for the stated purpose, and the product may not be diverted to general food use without reclassification and additional duty liability.
