Robert E. Robertson & Richard Cheston. In 1998, U.S. consumers used 9.9 million tons of sugar, 16% of which was imported. The amount of sugar imported into the U.S. is determined annually by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA), which administers the U.S. sugar program. The U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), working with USDA, allocates shares of the tariff-rate quota among 40 countries. This report examines USDA’s & USTR’s administration of the tariff-quota for imported sugar & its effect on U.S. cane sugar refiners & consumers. Describes & evaluates: USDA’s procedures for setting the tariff-quota for imported sugar, & USTR’s procedures for allocating the quota among sugar-producing countries. Charts & tables.
