Commerce (Commerce) determines that 

certain producers/exporters subject to 

this administrative review did not make 

sales of subject merchandise at less than 

normal value (NV) during the July 1,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 1, 2024, Commerce 

published the preliminary results of the 

2022–2023 administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on citric acid 

and certain citrate salts (citric acid) from 

Thailand 1 in the Federal Register and 

invited interested parties to comment.2

We received no comments from 

interested parties on the Preliminary 

Results, and we have made no changes 

to the Preliminary Results. Accordingly, 

no decision memorandum accompanies 

this Federal Register notice. The 

Preliminary Results are hereby adopted 

in these final results. Commerce 

conducted this administrative review in 

accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by this Order 

include 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 Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Rate for Non-Selected Company 

The Act and Commerce’s regulations 

do not directly address the 

establishment of a rate to be applied to 

individual companies not selected for 

examination when Commerce limits its 

examination in an administrative review 

pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the 

Act. Generally, Commerce looks to 

section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which 

provides instructions for calculating the 

all-others rate in a market economy 

investigation, for guidance when 

calculating the rate for companies 

which were not selected for individual 

review in an administrative review. 

Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, 

the all-others rate is normally ‘‘an 

amount equal to the weighted average of 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins established for 

exporters and producers individually 

investigated, excluding any zero or de 

minimis margins, and any margins 

determined entirely {on the basis of 

facts available}.’’ 

In this administrative review, we 

calculated dumping margins of zero 

percent for both mandatory 

respondents: COFCO Biochemical 

(Thailand) Co., Ltd. (COFCO) and 

Sunshine Biotech International Co., Ltd. 

(Sunshine). Thus, in accordance with 

the expected method, and consistent 

with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 

Federal Circuit’s decision in 

Albemarle,3 we assign to Xitrical Group 

Co. LTD., the sole non-selected 

company under review, a zero percent 

rate, based on the rates calculated for 

the two mandatory respondents. 

Final Results of Review 

We determine that the following 

weighted-average dumping margins 

exist for the period July 1, 2022, through 

June 30, 2023: 

Producer/exporter 

WeightedAverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

COFCO Biochemical (Thailand) 

Co., Ltd ................................... 0.00 

Sunshine Biotech International 

Co., Ltd ................................... 0.00 

Xitrical Group Co. LTD ............... 0.00 

Disclosure 

Normally, Commerce discloses to 

interested parties the calculations of the 

final results of an administrative review 

within five days of a public 

announcement or, if there is no public 

announcement, within five days of the 

date of publication of the notice of final 

results in the Federal Register, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

However, because we have made no 

changes to the Preliminary Results, 

there are no calculations to disclose. 

Assessment Rates 

Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), upon 

completion of the administrative 

review, Commerce shall determine, and 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties 

on all appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise covered this review. 

Because the respondents’ weightedaverage dumping margins or importerspecific assessment rates are zero or de 

minimis in the final results of review, 

we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate 

entries without regard to antidumping 

duties.4 The final results of this

administrative 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.5

In accordance with Commerce’s 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR produced by each respondent 

which did not know that its 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate entries not reviewed at the allothers rate established in the original 

less-than-fair value (LTFV) investigation 

(i.e., 11.25 percent) 6 if there is no rate 

for the intermediate company(ies) 

involved in the transaction. 

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of these 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 upon 

publication in the Federal Register of 

the notice of final results of 

administrative review for all shipments 

of citric acid from Thailand entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication as provided for by section 

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

deposit rate for the companies listed 

above will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin established in 

the final results of this administrative 

review (i.e., 0.00 percent); (2) for 

merchandise exported by a company 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 in the completed segment for 

the most recent period; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review or another completed segment of 

this proceeding, but the producer is, 

then the cash deposit rate will be the 

company-specific rate established for 

the completed segment for the most 

recent period for the producer of the 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be 11.25 percent, the 

all-others rate established in the lessthan-fair-value investigation.7 These 

cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice 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 the POR. 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 final 

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

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

Timely written notification of the return 

or 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 subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

Commerce is issuing and publishing 

the final results of this review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

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

351.221(b)(5).

Laminated Woven Sacks From the 

Socialist Republic of Vietnam: 

Continuation of Antidumping Duty and 

Countervailing Duty Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) 

orders on laminated woven sacks from 

the Socialist Republic of Vietnam 

(Vietnam) would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and net countervailable subsidies, and 

material injury to an industry in the 

United States, Commerce is publishing 

this notice of continuation of these AD 

and CVD orders. 

DATES: Applicable November 15, 2024.

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 4, 2019, Commerce published 

in the Federal Register the AD and CVD 

orders on laminated woven sacks from 

Vietnam.1 On May 1, 2024, the ITC 

instituted,2 and Commerce initiated,3

the first sunset reviews of the Orders 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As 

a result of its reviews, Commerce 

determined that revocation of the 

Orders would likely lead to the 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and countervailable subsidies, and 

therefore, notified the ITC of the 

magnitude of the margins of dumping 

and subsidy rates likely to prevail 

should the Orders be revoked.4

On November 15, 2024, the ITC 

published its determination, pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation 

of the Orders would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States within a reasonably foreseeable 

time.5

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by these 

orders is laminated woven sacks.
