*Mexico’s government led by President Claudia Sheinbaum has imposed tariffs on sugar imports of between 156% and 210.44%. The tariffs were announced in the official gazette (DOF), with the government stating that it had “the obligation of implementing necessary mechanisms to generate stability in the sectors of national industry and to eliminate distortions in trade, in order to safeguard the balance of the global market in accordance with international law and the international commitments of our country”. The government added that the sugarcane sector in Mexico was facing oversupply in the domestic market, which it said was “jeopardising the profitability and viability of the entire production chain”. Tariffs of 156% will apply to sugarcane as well as sugar beet, products with a sugar content of over 90%, and flavoured syrups. Refined liquid sugar and inverted sugar syrup will face import tariffs of 210.44%.
