Summary

The U.S. checked if Mexico and two sugar companies followed the rules in their sugar trade deal during 2023 and found they did. This means no extra taxes (countervailing duties) will be added to Mexican sugar for now. The agreement keeps sugar flowing smoothly and fairly between the two countries through the end of 2023.

Mexico and Two Sugar Firms Found In Compliance

The U.S. Department of Commerce preliminarily determined that the Government of Mexico and the two examined companies, Azucarera San Jose De Abajo S.A. and Santa Rosalia de la Chontalpa, S.A. de C.V., were in compliance with the Agreement Suspending the Countervailing Duty Investigation on Sugar from Mexico for the period January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023. Commerce also preliminarily determined the Agreement met the applicable statutory requirements during that same period.

No New Countervailing Duties; Trade Continued Through 2023

Because Commerce preliminarily found compliance, no additional countervailing duties will be imposed on Mexican sugar under this Agreement for the reviewed period, and the Agreement is described as keeping sugar flowing between the United States and Mexico through December 31, 2023. The preliminary determination covers the period January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023.
