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).

Background 

On June 1, 2023, Commerce published 

the Initiation Notice of the sunset 

reviews of the AD orders on citric acid 

from Thailand and Colombia 1 in the 

Federal Register pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act).2 In accordance with 

19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i) and (ii), 

Commerce received notices of intent to 

participate in these sunset reviews from 

Archer Daniels Midland Company, 

Cargill, Incorporated, and Primary 

Products Ingredients Americas LLC 

(collectively, the domestic interested 

parties) within 15 days after the date of 

publication of the Initiation Notice.3

The domestic interested parties claimed 

interested party status under section 

771(9)(C) of the Act as producers of a 

domestic like product in the United 

States.4 Commerce timely-received an 

adequate substantive response to the 

Initiation Notice from the domestic 

interested parties within the 30-day 

period specified in 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(3)(i).5 We did not receive 

substantive responses from any other 

interested parties. On July 25, 2023, 

Commerce notified the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that it did not receive an adequate 

substantive response from other 

interested parties.6 As a result, in 

accordance with section 751(c)(3)(B) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce 

conducted expedited, i.e., 120-day 

sunset reviews of the Orders. 

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by the 

Orders 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. For a full description of the scope 

of the Orders, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.7

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in these sunset 

reviews are addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum, including the 

likelihood of continuation or recurrence 

of dumping and the magnitude of the 

margins of dumping likely to prevail if 

the Orders were revoked. A list of topics 

discussed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is included as the 

appendix to this notice. The Issues and 

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://

Memorandum can be accessed directly

Final Results of Sunset Reviews 

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 

752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, Commerce 

determines that revocation of the Orders 

would be likely to lead to continuation 

or recurrence of dumping and that the 

magnitude of the margins of dumping 

likely to prevail would be at rates up to 

28.48 percent for Colombia and 15.71 

percent for Thailand.

notification of the return or destruction 

of APO materials or conversion to 

judicial protective order is hereby
