EU suspends inward processing for raw cane sugar

Sugar refiners must stop using inward processing for raw cane sugar

Change
EU suspended inward processing arrangements for raw cane sugar used to obtain white sugar until 27 May 2027.
Why it matters
The suspension removes a duty-free processing route for raw cane sugar used in white sugar production. Existing valid authorisations receive only a 30-day transition, forcing affected operators to update import, refining and customs authorisation assumptions.
Implications
  • EU sugar refiners using inward processing authorisations must stop applying the procedure to raw cane sugar used for white sugar production after the 30-day transition.
  • Customs and trade compliance teams must update inward processing authorisation checks for CN codes 1701 13 90 and 1701 14 90 until the suspension expires.
