SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 25, 2018, Commerce 

published the antidumping duty (AD) 

order on citric acid and certain citrate 

salts (citric acid) from Colombia in the 

Federal Register.1 On September 3, 

2020, pursuant to section 751(a)(1) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), Commerce initiated an AD 

administrative review of the Order.2

During the course of this administrative 

review, Sucroal responded to 

Commerce’s questionnaire and 

supplemental questionnaires. On March 

4, 2021, Commerce extended the 

deadline for issuing the preliminary 

results of this review.3 For further 

details, see the accompanying 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.4

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. The scope also includes blends of 

citric acid, sodium citrate, and 

potassium citrate; as well as blends with 

other ingredients, such as sugar, where 

the unblended form(s) of citric acid, 

sodium citrate, and potassium citrate 

constitute 40 percent or more, by 

weight, of the blend. 

Citric acid and sodium citrate are 

classifiable under 2918.14.0000 and 

2918.15.1000 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), 

respectively. Potassium citrate and 

crude calcium citrate are classifiable 

under 2918.15.5000 and, if included in 

a mixture or blend, 3824.99.9295 of the 

HTSUS. Blends that include citric acid, 

sodium citrate, and potassium citrate 

are classifiable under 3824.99.9295 of 

the HTSUS. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written 

description of the merchandise is 

dispositive. For a full description of the 

scope of the Order, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.5

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Act. Export price has been calculated in 

accordance with section 772 of the Act 

and normal value was calculated in 

accordance with section 773 of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. A list of the 

topics discussed in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is attached as an

otherwise extended.13

Assessment Rates 

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. If the weighted-average 

dumping margin for Sucroal (i.e., the 

sole individually-examined respondent 

in this review) is not zero or de minimis 

(i.e., greater than or equal to 0.5 percent) 

in the final results of this review, we 

will calculate importer-specific ad 

valorem assessment rates for the 

merchandise based on the ratio of the 

total amount of dumping calculated for 

the examined sales made during the 

POR to each importer and the total 

entered value of those same sales, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 

Where an importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis in 

the final results of the review, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate 

entries without regard to antidumping 

duties.14 If a respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis in the final results of the 

review, we will instruct CBP not to 

assess duties on any of its entries in 

accordance with the Final Modification 

for Reviews, i.e., ‘‘{w}here the weightedaverage margin of dumping for the 

exporter is determined to be zero or de 

minimis, no antidumping duties will be 

assessed.’’ 15

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by Sucroal for 

which the producer did not know its 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company (or companies) 

involved in the transaction.16

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 upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of the 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 Sucroal will be 

equal to the weighted-average dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

this administrative 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 previously reviewed or 

investigated companies not listed above, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the company-specific rate published for 

the most recently completed segment of 

this proceeding in which the company 

participated; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or in the investigation but the 

producer is, the cash deposit rate will be 

the rate established for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding 

for the producer of the merchandise; 

and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be the all-others rate of 28.48 percent, 

the rate established in the investigation 

of this proceeding.17 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 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, 

and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1). 

Dated: July 16, 2021.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance.
