UK Opens Industry Consultation on Future of Sugar TRQ

The United Kingdom is seeking comments, due Oct. 5, on the future of its autonomous tariff rate quota for raw cane sugar after it officially leaves the European Union next year, the U.K.’s Department for International Trade said Sept. 14. It wants feedback on whether the U.K. should impose a tariff rate quota, the “volume of an ATQ” that industry would prefer, if at all, and the quota's impact on industry sectors or businesses in the U.K.
