The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has issued Public Notice 27/2026-27, detailing the modalities for the application and distribution of Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) for the import of 10 lakh metric tonnes of raw sugar. This notice also covers the one-time conversion from the Advance Authorisation (AA) Scheme to the TRQ Scheme.
This change affects importers dealing with raw sugar, as they need to understand the new TRQ application process. The notice specifies how the TRQ will be allocated, which could impact import planning and cost management. Importers using the Advance Authorisation Scheme may need to consider converting to the TRQ Scheme to benefit from the new quota.
