美国正在对特制糖实行进口限制和新关税,这可能会从10月1日起将有机食品价格平均提高30%。 The U.S. is imposing import restrictions and new tariffs on specialty sugar, which could raise organic food prices by an average of 30% starting October 1. 美国制造商使用的有机糖90%以上是进口的,由于美国农业部为特殊糖进口规定了零免税配额,所有超额进口将面临高配额税。 Over 90% of organic sugar used by U.S. manufacturers is imported, and with the USDA setting a zero duty-free quota for specialty sugar imports, all excess imports will face high out-of-quota duties. 这与8月份已经抬高价格的高额贸易关税相继。 This follows steep trade tariffs that already increased prices in August. 这项旨在支持国内制糖业的行动预计将增加酸奶和饼干等有机产品的生产成本,有可能迫使一些制造商提高价格或降低产量。 The move, intended to support the domestic sugar industry, is expected to increase production costs for organic products like yogurt and cookies, potentially forcing some manufacturers to raise prices or reduce output. 批评者警告该政策可能会伤害食品公司,特别是较小的食品公司,并限制消费者选择。 Critics warn the policy could harm food companies, especially smaller ones, and limit consumer choice.
