Ricoh Electronics, Inc. (Ricoh)
submitted a notification of proposed
production activity to the FTZ Board for

conforming to the requirements of the
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR

Ricoh already has authority to
produce copiers, printers, toner
cartridges, related toner products,
thermal paper and thermal film
products within Subzone 26H. The
current request would add foreign-status
materials to the scope of authority.
Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b),
additional FTZ authority would be
limited to the specific foreign-status
materials/components described in the
submitted notification (as described
below) and subsequently authorized by
the FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt Ricoh from customs duty
payments on the foreign-status materials
used in export production. On its
domestic sales, for the foreign-status
materials noted below, Ricoh would be
able to choose the duty rates during
customs entry procedures that apply to
copiers, printers, toner cartridges,
related toner products, thermal paper
and thermal film (duty rate ranges
between duty-free and 5.8%). Ricoh
would be able to avoid duty on foreignstatus materials which become scrap/
waste. Customs duties also could
possibly be deferred or reduced on
foreign-status production equipment.
The materials sourced from abroad
include titanium dioxide mixture
(titanium dioxide, methyltrimethoxy
silane, and
trifluoropropyltrimethoxysilane), silica
mixture (silica is over 91% of mixture),
polycarbonate/acrylonitrile butadiene
styrene resin, and calcium oxide
mixture (calcium oxide is over 85% of
mixture) (duty rate ranges between 5%
and 6%). The request indicates that
certain materials are subject to duties
under Section 301 of the Trade Act of
1974 (Section 301), depending on the
country of origin. The applicable
Section 301 decisions require subject
merchandise to be admitted to FTZs in
privileged foreign status (19 CFR
146.41).
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the Board’s Executive
Secretary and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The
closing period for their receipt is
December 23, 2020.
A copy of the notification will be
available for public inspection in the
‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the Board’s
website, which is accessible via
www.trade.gov/ftz.

SUMMARY: On August 10, 2020, the
Department of Commerce (Commerce)
published the preliminary results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty (AD) order on citric
acid and certain citrate salts (citric acid)
from Colombia. The review covers one
mandatory respondent, Sucroal S.A.
(Sucroal). The period of review (POR) is
January 8, 2018 through June 30, 2019.
For the final results of this review, we
continue to find that Sucroal sold
subject merchandise at less than normal
value during the POR.
DATES: Applicable November 13, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On August 10, 2020, Commerce
published the Preliminary Results of the
administrative review of the AD order
on citric acid from Colombia.1 The
administrative review covers one
producer/exporter of the subject
merchandise, Sucroal. We gave
interested parties an opportunity to
comment on the Preliminary Results.
We received no comments. Hence, these
final results are unchanged from the
Preliminary Results.
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.
Final Results of the Administrative
Review
As a result of this administrative
review, we determine that the following
weighted-average dumping margin
exists for the POR:

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as 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 in
accordance with the final results of this
review. For Sucroal, because its
weighted-average dumping margin is
not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5
percent), Commerce has calculated
importer-specific AD assessment rates.
We calculated importer- (or customer-)
specific ad valorem AD assessment rates
by dividing the total amount of
dumping calculated for the importer’s
examined sales by the total entered
value of the same sales for that importer,
in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).
