SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 6, 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 

the People’s Republic of China (China) 1

in the Federal Register and invited 

interested parties to comment.2 On July 

22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain 

deadlines in this administrative 

proceeding by seven days.3 On October 

8, 2024, Commerce extended the 

deadline for the final results of this 

administrative review until December 

10, 2024.4 For a summary of the events 

that occurred since the Preliminary 

Results, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.5 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 merchandise covered by the 

Order is citric acid from China. A full 

description of the scope of the Order is 

contained in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

The issue raised in an interested 

party’s case brief is addressed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. A 

list of topics discussed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is provided in 

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://access.

trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

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

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on an analysis of the comment 

received, we made six changes to the 

margin calculation from the Preliminary 

Results for RZBC.6

The China-Wide Entity 

Because no party requested a review 

of the China-wide entity, and Commerce 

no longer considers the China-wide 

entity as an exporter conditionally 

subject to administrative reviews,7 we 

did not conduct a review of the Chinawide entity. Thus, the weighted-average 

dumping margin for the China-wide 

entity (i.e., 156.87 percent) 8 is not 

subject to change as a result of this 

review. 

Final Results of Review 

We determine that the following 

weighted-average dumping margin 

exists for the period May 1, 2022, 

through April 30, 2023: 

Exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

RZBC Import & Export Co., Ltd 0.00 

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed for these final results of 

review to interested parties 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 

Tariff Act of 1930, amended (the Act) 

and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce has 

determined, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries of subject merchandise covered 

this review. Because the respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin or an 

importer-specific assessment rate is zero 

or de minimis in the final results of 

review, we intend to instruct CBP to 

liquidate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties.9 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.10

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). 

Where the respondent reported 

reliable entered values, Commerce will 

calculate importer/customer-specific ad 

valorem assessment rates by aggregating 

the amount of dumping calculated for 

all U.S. sales to the importer/customer 

and dividing this amount by the total 

entered value of the merchandise sold to 

the importer/customer.11 Where an 

importer- (or customer-) specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis 

(i.e., less than 0.50 percent), Commerce

will instruct CBP to assess that 

importer’s (or customer’s) entries of 

subject merchandise without regard to 

antidumping duties in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). For entries that 

were not reported in the U.S. sales 

database submitted by RZBC during this 

review, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such entries at the 

antidumping duty assessment rate for 

the China-wide entity (i.e., 156.87 

percent).12

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective upon publication of the 

final results of this administrative 

review for all shipments of the subject 

merchandise from China entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) 

of the Act: (1) for RZBC the cash deposit 

rate will be the margin listed above; (2) 

for previously investigated or reviewed 

Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not 

listed above that have separate rates, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

exporter-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding in which they were 

reviewed; (3) for all Chinese exporters of 

subject merchandise that have not been 

found to be entitled to a separate rate, 

the cash deposit rate will be equal to the 

weighted- average dumping margin for 

the China-wide entity (i.e., 156.87 

percent); and (4) for all non- Chinese 

exporters of subject merchandise which 

have not received their own separate 

rate, the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate applicable to the Chinese 

exporter(s) that supplied that nonChinese exporter. 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 and/or countervailing 

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 and/or 

countervailing duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties, and/or an increase 

in the amount of antidumping duties by 

the amount of countervailing 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). 

Dated: December 3, 2024.

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on organic 

soybean meal from India.1 We invited 

interested parties to comment on the

is organic soybean meal from India. A 

full description of the scope of the 

Order is provided in the Preliminary 

Results.4

Recission of Administrative Review, in 

Part 

In the Preliminary Results, we stated 

that we intended to rescind this review 

with respect to Sumati for which we 

preliminarily found that Sumati did not 

make a bona fide sale of organic 

soybean meal during the POR.5 No party 

filed comments with respect to this 

preliminary finding. Therefore, we are 

rescinding the administrative review 

with respect to this company. 

Final Results of the Review 

We determine the following estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins for 

the period November 2, 2021, through 

April 30, 2023.
