Message to Industry – CUSMA- Sugar-Containing Products Tariff Rate Quota fill rate discrepancy

Please note that, according to the U.S. Customs and Borders Protection (CBP)'s commodity report, the CUSMA-SCP Tariff Rate Quota is potentially filled. While Canada's utilization data reports that the utilization rate for this TRQ is as 81,4% or 7,810,126 kg, the U.S. relies on its data to make decisions about when to close the quota which it manages.

At this time, all CUSMA-SCP permit applications will be routed and permits will be only issued should any additional quota become available.

Global Affairs Canada is investigating the cause of this discrepancy and will take corrective measures as necessary and appropriate.
