Sugar importers seeking licences under Statutory Instrument 2020 No. 1432GOV have their October 2026 application round: under Notice to Traders 75/26, applications for a licence may be submitted between 1 October 2026 and 5pm on 7 October 2026GOV. The applicant is responsible for ensuring that the application and all supporting documentation are correct at the time of submissionGOV.

The sugar notices under the same instrument run successive short rounds through the year on identical terms. Notice to Traders 15/26 opened the 1 March to 5pm 6 March 2026 windowGOV, and Notice to Traders 49/26 the 1 July to 5pm 7 July 2026 windowGOV, each with the same applicant-responsibility standard for the application and supporting documentationGOVGOV. The 75/26 round continues that sequence for October with unchanged conditions: only the dates move.

The operative terms are narrow. Submission is permitted from 1 October 2026, and the cut-off is 5pm on 7 October 2026 — the time on the final day is part of the deadlineGOV. Correctness attaches at submission and covers the application together with every supporting document; a defect in either is the applicant's risk. Unlike the garlic round published the same day, no security element is stated for sugar: the responsibility standard names the application and supporting documentation only.

For traders, the consequence is to prepare the application pack so it can be submitted inside the 1 October to 5pm 7 October 2026 window, with each document checked before filing. The round is commodity-specific: it covers sugar imports under Statutory Instrument 2020 No. 1432, not the parallel October windows for pigmeat or garlic published alongside it.

Legal basis: Notice to Traders 75/26 — Imports of Sugar under Statutory Instrument 2020 No. 1432 (application window 1 October to 5pm 7 October 2026; applicant responsibility for application and supporting documentation), read against the equivalent March and July 2026 windows in Notices to Traders 15/26 and 49/26.

Submit sugar import licence applications under Notice to Traders 75/26 between 1 October and 5pm on 7 October 2026, with the application and every supporting document checked correct at submission.
