SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 31, 2023, Commerce 

published the preliminary results of the 

2021–2022 administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on citric acid 

from Belgium, covering one producer/ 

exporter of subject merchandise, 

Citribel, and invited interested parties to 

comment.1 On August 30, 2023, Archer 

Daniels Midland Company, Cargill, 

Incorporated, and Primary Products 

Ingredients Americas LLC (collectively, 

the petitioners), and Citribel timely 

submitted case briefs regarding 

Commerce’s Preliminary Results.2 On 

September 6, 2023, the petitioners 

timely submitted a rebuttal case brief.3

For a summary of the events that 

occurred since Commerce published the 

Preliminary Results, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.4 Commerce 

conducted this review in accordance 

with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

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. For a full description of the scope 

of the order, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs are listed in the appendix 

to this notice and addressed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 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://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

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

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on a review of the record and 

analysis of the comments received, we 

made changes to the preliminary 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

Citribel. For detailed information, see 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Final Results of Review 

Commerce determines that, for the 

period of July 1, 2021, through June 30, 

2022, the following estimated weightedaverage dumping margin exists: 

Exporter/producer 

Weightedaverage 

dumping

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed for these final results to 

parties in this review within five days 

of the date of publication of this notice 

in the Federal Register, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) 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

90168 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 249 / Friday, December 29, 2023 / Notices 

5 In these final results, Commerce applied the 

assessment rate calculation method adopted in 

Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the 

Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and 

Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty 

Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 

(February 14, 2012). 

6See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act. 

7See Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Salts from 

Belgium: Affirmative Final Determination of Sales 

at Less Than Fair Value, 83 FR 26001 (June 5, 

2018). 

merchandise in accordance with the 

final results of this review. Pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we calculated 

importer-specific ad valorem duty 

assessment rates based on the ratio of 

the total amount of dumping calculated 

for the examined sales to the total 

entered value of those sales. Where the 

respondent did not report entered value, 

we calculated a per-unit assessment rate 

for each importer by dividing the total 

amount of dumping calculated for the 

examined sales made to that importer by 

the total quantity associated with those 

sales. Where either the respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero or de minimis within the meaning 

of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importerspecific assessment rate is zero or de 

minimis, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties.5

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by Citribel for 

which it did not know its merchandise 

was destined for the United States, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate 

unreviewed entries at the all-others rate 

if there is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction. 

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 deposits of 

estimated duties, where applicable.6

Commerce intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after the date of publication of the 

final results of this 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). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date 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 the company listed 

above will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin established in 

the final results of this administrative 

review; (2) for merchandise exported by 

producers or exporters not covered in 

this review but covered in a prior 

completed segment of the proceeding, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the company-specific rate published for 

the most recent period; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, a prior review, or the original 

investigation, but the producer has been 

covered in a prior complete segment of 

this proceeding, then the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate established for the 

most recent period for the producer of 

the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other manufacturers or 

exporters will continue to be 19.30 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation.7 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a final 

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. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to an administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of return/ 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and the terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results of administrative review in 

accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5). 

Dated: December 22, 2023.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Operations.
