[ SRA SUGAR ORDER NO. 8, June 04, 1996 ]
RULES AND REGULATIONS ON SUGAR IMPORTED BY MANUFACTURERS OF SUGAR-BASED PRODUCTS FOR EXPORTS
Whereas, Section 1 of Sugar Order No. 8, Series of 1994-95, dated 17 May 1995, of the Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA), provides for separate rules and regulations covering sugar, whether raw or refined, imported by or consigned to and exclusively for the use of local processors/manufacturers of sugar-based products for export;
Whereas, it is in the national interest, to put the local processors/manufacturers in a competitive position in the world market so as to sustain the country's economic growth in the field of export;

In the event the cumulative quantity of imported sugar, whether raw or refined, exceeds the sugar requirement of the importer/consignee in a given year, i.e. 12 month period, reckoned from the date of application, the quantity of imported sugar in excess of the said requirement shall be classified as "B" or Domestic sugar or "C" or Reserve sugar, pursuant to Sugar Order No. 8, Series of 1994-1995, dated 17 May 1995 and its implementing guidelines.
SECTION 5. A Circular Letter shall be issued by the SRA defining the guidelines to be followed by processors/ manufacturers of sugar-based products for export on how to secure a Certification of sugar requirements of processors/manufacturers of sugar-based products for export.
