India on Friday notified sugar exports of 5,841 tonnes to the European Union under the tariff-rate quota scheme for 2023-24 (October 2023 to September 2024).
TRQ is a quota for a volume of exports that enters the European Union with relatively low tariffs. After the quota reaches its limit, a higher tariff is applicable to additional shipments.
"The Director General of Foreign Trade hereby allocates quantity of 5,841 MT for export of sugar to EU from India under TRQ for the year 2023-24 (October 2023 to September 2024)," an official notification said.
It said that a Certificate of Origin, if required, for preferential export of sugar to EU, shall be issued by the Additional Director General of Foreign Trade, Mumbai on the recommendation of APEDA regarding the entity and quantity for which it is eligible.
The quota will be operated by the Agriculture and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority as the implementing agency for the export of TRQ items to the EU.
"The quantity of 5841 MT sugar to be exported to EU from India under TRQ for the year 2023-24 (October 2023 to September 2024) has been notified," it added.
