Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

is citric acid and certain citrate salts 

from Thailand. The scope of the order 

includes all grades and granulation sizes 

of citric acid, sodium citrate, and 

potassium citrate in their unblended 

forms, whether dry or in solution, and 

regardless of packaging type. The scope 

also includes blends of citric acid, 

sodium citrate, and potassium citrate; as 

well as blends with other ingredients, 

such as sugar, where the unblended 

form(s) of citric acid, sodium citrate, 

and potassium citrate constitute 40 

percent or more, by weight, of the blend. 

The scope also includes all forms of 

crude calcium citrate, including 

dicalcium citrate monohydrate, and 

tricalcium citrate tetrahydrate, which 

are intermediate products in the 

production of citric acid, sodium citrate, 

and potassium citrate. 

The scope includes the hydrous and 

anhydrous forms of citric acid, the 

dihydrate and anhydrous forms of 

sodium citrate, otherwise known as 

citric acid sodium salt, and the 

monohydrate and monopotassium forms 

of potassium citrate. Sodium citrate also 

includes both trisodium citrate and 

monosodium citrate which are also 

known as citric acid trisodium salt and 

citric acid monosodium salt, 

respectively. 

The scope does not include calcium 

citrate that satisfies the standards set 

forth in the United States Pharmacopeia 

and has been mixed with a functional 

excipient, such as dextrose or starch, 

where the excipient constitutes at least 

2 percent, by weight, of the product. 

Citric acid and sodium citrate are 

classifiable under 2918.14.0000 and 

2918.15.1000 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), 

respectively. Potassium citrate and 

crude calcium citrate are classifiable 

under 2918.15.5000 and, if included in 

a mixture or blend, 3824.99.9295 of the 

HTSUS. Blends that include citric acid, 

sodium citrate, and potassium citrate 

are classifiable under 3824.99.9295 of 

the HTSUS. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the merchandise 

is dispositive. 

Partial Rescission of Administrative 

Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if a party who requested the review 

withdraws the request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of notice of 

initiation of the requested review. The 

aforementioned withdrawal request was 

timely submitted, and no other 

interested party requested an 

administrative review of this particular 

company. Therefore, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), and consistent 

with our practice,8 we are rescinding 

this review of the antidumping duty 

order on citric acid from Thailand, in 

part, with respect to Niran. 

The review will continue with respect 

to COFCO and Sunshine. 

Assessment 

Commerce will instruct CBP to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. For Niran, for which this review 

is rescinded, antidumping duties shall 

be assessed at rates equal to the cash 

deposit of estimated antidumping duties 

required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption, during the period July 1, 

2019, through June 30, 2020, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to 

issue appropriate assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after the date of publication of this 

rescission notice in the Federal 

Register. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

importers of their responsibility under 

19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in 

Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of doubled antidumping duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under an APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return/destruction of 

APO materials or conversion to judicial 

protective order is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and terms of an APO is a violation 

which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(4).

Turkey.1 On January 25, 2021, the ITC 

notified Commerce of its final 

determination, pursuant to sections 

705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 705(d) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), that 

an industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of 

subsidized imports of PC strand from 

Turkey.2

Scope of the Order 

The scope of the investigation is PC 

strand from Turkey. For a complete 

description of the scope of this order, 

see the appendix to this notice. 

Countervailing Duty Order 

On January 25, 2021, in accordance 

with sections 705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 705(d) 

of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce 

of its final determination in this 

investigation, in which it found that an 

industry in the United States s 

materially injured by reason of imports 

of PC strand from Turkey.3 As a result, 

and in accordance with sections 

705(c)(2) and 706 of the Act, we are 

issuing this countervailing duty order. 

Because the ITC determined that 

imports of PC strand from Turkey are 

materially injuring a U.S. industry, 

unliquidated entries of such 

merchandise from Turkey, entered or 

withdrawn from warehouse for 

consumption, are subject to the 

assessment of countervailing duties. 

Countervailing duties will be assessed 

on unliquidated entries of PC strand 

from Turkey entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after September 21, 2020, the date of 

publication of the Preliminary 

Determination,4 but will not include 

entries occurring after the expiration of 

the provisional measures period and 

before the publication of the ITC’s final 

injury determination under section 

705(b) of the Act, as further described 

below. 

Suspension of Liquidation and Cash 

Deposits 

In accordance with section 706 of the 

Act, Commerce will direct CBP to 

suspend liquidation of PC strand from 

Turkey, as described in the appendix to 

this notice, effective on the date of 

publication of the ITC’s notice of final 

determination in the Federal Register, 

and to assess, upon further instruction 

by Commerce, pursuant to section 

706(a)(1) of the Act, countervailing 

duties for each entry of the subject 

merchandise in an amount based on the 

net countervailable subsidy rate for the 

subject merchandise. On or after the 

publication of the ITC’s final injury 

determination in the Federal Register, 

CBP must require, at the same time as 

importers would normally deposit 

estimated import duties on this 

merchandise, cash deposits for each 

entry of subject merchandise equal to 

the rates noted below. These 

instructions suspending liquidation will 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Company Subsidy rate 

(percent) 

Celik Halat ve Tel San A.S.5 ............... 158.44 

Guney Celik Hasir ve Demir ............... 30.78 

All Others 6 .......................................... 94.61 

Provisional Measures 

Section 703(d) of the Act states that 

instructions issued pursuant to an 

affirmative preliminary determination 

may not remain in effect for more than 

four months. In the underlying 

investigation, Commerce published the 

Preliminary Determination on 

September 21, 2020. As such, the fourmonth period beginning on the date of 

the publication of the Preliminary 

Determination ended on January 19, 

2021. Furthermore, section 707(b) of the 

Act states that definitive duties are to 

begin on the date of publication of the 

ITC’s final injury determination. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

703(d) of the Act, we will instruct CBP 

to terminate the suspension of 

liquidation and to liquidate, without 

regard to countervailing duties, 

unliquidated entries of PC strand from 

Turkey, entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption, on or after 

January 20, 2021, the date on which the 

provisional measures expired, until and 

through January 28, 2021, the day 

preceding the date of publication of the 

ITC’s final injury determination in the 

Federal Register.7 Suspension of 

liquidation will resume on January 29, 

2021, the date of publication of the 

ITC’s final determination in the Federal 

Register.
