In the United States, programs involving sugar re-export are refined sugar re-export program, where a refiner can perform certain actions such as export locally-produced refined sugar and import low-duty raw cane sugar. The other two programs include sugar-containing products re-export program, and sugar for the production of polyhydric alcohol program.

(1) The Refined Sugar Re-Export Program: facilitates the use of domestic refining capacity to export refined sugar into the world market. The program establishes a license against which a refiner can:

a. Export domestically produced refined sugar and later import low-duty raw cane sugar

b. Import low-duty raw cane sugar for refining and distribution to licensed U.S. manufacturers of sugar-containing products and/or licensed producers of polyhydric alcohol for non-food purposes

c. Import raw sugar, refine it and export it into the world market

(2) The Sugar-Containing Products Re-Export Program: puts US manufacturers of sugar-containing products on a level playing field in the world market. US participants in this program may buy world-priced sugar from any licensed refiners for use in products to be exported to the world market

(3) The Sugar for the Production of Polyhydric Alcohol Program: established to provide world-priced sugar to licensed US manufacturers of polyhydric alcohols.
