U.S. imports of Sugarcane (NAICS 111930) totaled $488K in August 2026, imported from 8 countries.

Importers of Sugarcane paid $144K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 29.49% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Sugarcane imports of $488K in August 2026 ran 71% above the year-to-date monthly average of $286K.

NAICS 111930 at the NA6 level focuses on sugarcane as a cultivated crop commodity, where the distinction between raw cane for milling and sugarcane plant material for propagation drives both classification and regulatory treatment. The sugar TRQ framework governs the duty economics for raw cane destined for US refineries, while USDA APHIS phytosanitary rules apply to any plant material that could introduce exotic pests. Importers should clearly identify the end use — processing versus propagation — in their entry documentation, as the two categories face different admissibility pathways.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the intended end use of sugarcane — milling versus propagation — affect how it is classified at entry?

Yes. Raw sugarcane destined for milling and refining is classified differently from sugarcane cuttings or plant material intended for propagation. The latter triggers stricter USDA APHIS phytosanitary review and may require an import permit, while the former is primarily governed by TRQ quota documentation.

What records should importers maintain to support a TRQ claim on raw sugarcane?

Importers should retain the country-specific TRQ certificate or license, the bill of lading confirming origin, a certificate of origin, and any USDA-issued quota allocation documentation. CBP may request these records during a post-entry audit, and gaps in documentation can result in reclassification at the over-quota duty rate.
