Notice

Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Duties on Mexican Sugar Remain
The Department of Commerce decided to continue the Agreement Suspending the Countervailing Duty Investigation on sugar from Mexico, so sugar from Mexico will remain subject to countervailing duties. Importers of Mexican sugar should expect the existing duty status to stay in place following this sunset review.
Buyers See Continued Price and Trade Stability
Buyers of sugar and sugar-containing products should expect the current rules and trade conditions to continue because Commerce found termination would likely lead to recurrence of subsidies. The notice says keeping the Agreement in place will help maintain price and fair-trade conditions for now.
