SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 24, 2018, Commerce 

published the antidumping duty order 

on forged steel fittings from Taiwan.1

On November 3, 2022, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce 

published the initiation of an 

administrative review of the Order.2

This review covers one exporter of the 

subject merchandise, Both-Well Steel 

Fittings Co., Ltd (Bothwell). On April 

11, 2023, Commerce extended the 

deadline for the preliminary results of 

this review to September 29, 2023, in 

accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act).3

For a detailed description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.4 A list of the 

topics discussed in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is attached as an 

appendix to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at https://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the scope of 

this Order are carbon and alloy forged 

steel fittings, whether unfinished 

(commonly known as blanks or rough 

forgings) or finished. Such fittings are 

made in a variety of shapes including, 

but not limited to, elbows, tees, crosses, 

laterals, couplings, reducers, caps, 

plugs, bushings, unions, and outlets. 

Forged steel fittings are covered 

regardless of end finish, whether 

threaded, socket-weld or other end 

connections. The subject merchandise is 

currently classifiable under subheadings 

7307.99.1000, 7307.99.3000, 

7307.99.5045, and 7307.99.5060 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). Although the 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the merchandise 

is dispositive. For a complete 

description of the scope of the Order, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Act. Export price is calculated in 

accordance with section 772 of the Act. 

NV is calculated in accordance with 

section 773 of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.

Final Results of Review 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis of 

issues raised in any written briefs, no 

later than 120 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, unless this 

deadline is otherwise extended.11 The 

final results of this review shall be the 

basis for the assessment of antidumping 

duties on entries of merchandise 

covered by the final results of this 

review and for future cash deposits of 

estimated antidumping duties, where 

applicable.12

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

Commerce will determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

final results of this review. Commerce 

intends to issue assessment instructions 

to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the 

date of publication of the final results of 

this administrative review in the 

Federal Register. If a timely summons is 

filed at the U.S. Court of International 

Trade, the assessment instructions will 

direct CBP not to liquidate relevant 

entries until the time for parties to file 

a request for a statutory injunction has 

expired (i.e., within 90 days of 

publication). 

For an individually examined 

respondent whose weighted-average 

dumping margin is not zero or de 

minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), upon 

completion of the final results, 

Commerce will calculate importerspecific assessment rates on the basis of 

the ratio of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for the importer’s examined 

sales and the total entered value of those 

sales. Where we do not have entered 

values for all U.S. sales to a particular 

importer, we will calculate a per-unit 

assessment rate on the basis of the ratio 

of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for the importer’s examined 

sales and the total quantity of those 

sales.13 To determine whether the duty 

assessment rate is de minimis, in 

accordance with the requirement set 

forth in 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will 

calculate an estimated importer-specific 

ad valorem rate based on the estimated 

entered value. Where either a 

respondent’s weighted-average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis, or an 

importer-specific ad valorem rate is zero 

or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate appropriate entries without 

regard to antidumping duties.14

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by an 

individually examined respondent for 

which it did not know its merchandise 

was destined for the United States, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate such 

entries at the all-others rate if there is no 

rate for the intermediate company(ies) 

involved in the transaction. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review, as provided by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the 

cash deposit rate for Bothwell will be 

equal to the weighted-average dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

this review, except if the rate is less 

than 0.50 percent, and therefore, de 

minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash 

deposit rate will be zero; (2) for an 

exporter not covered in this review but 

covered in a prior segment of the 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published for the most recentlycompleted segment of this proceeding in 

which they were reviewed; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in a 

review or the less-than-fair-value 

(LTFV) investigation but the producer 

is, then the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate established for the most recentlycompleted segment of this proceeding 

for the producer of the subject 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be 116.17 percent, the 

all-others rate established in the LTFV 

investigation.15

These cash deposit requirements, 

when imposed, shall remain in effect 

until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

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 double antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These preliminary results are being 

issued and published in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of 

the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4). 

Dated: September 22, 2023.

Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Salts 

From Thailand and Colombia: Final 

Results of the Expedited First Sunset 

Reviews of the Antidumping Duty 

Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of these expedited 

sunset reviews, the U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) finds that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) orders on citric acid and certain 

citrate salts (citric acid) from Thailand 

and Colombia would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

at the level indicated in the ‘‘Final 

Results of Sunset Reviews’’ section of 

this notice.
