invited interested parties to comment on
the Preliminary Results.2 This review
covers three respondents: COFCO, Niran
(Thailand) Co., Ltd. (Niran), and
Sunshine. Commerce rescinded this
review, in part, with respect to Niran on
February 3, 2021.3 No interested party
submitted comments on the Preliminary
Results. Accordingly, the final results
remain unchanged from the Preliminary
Results. Commerce conducted this
review in accordance with section 751
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is citric acid and certain citrate salts
from Thailand. The scope of the 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.
The scope also includes all forms of
crude calcium citrate, including
dicalcium citrate monohydrate, and
tricalcium citrate tetrahydrate, which
are intermediate products in the
production of citric acid, sodium citrate,
and potassium citrate.
The scope includes the hydrous and
anhydrous forms of citric acid, the
dihydrate and anhydrous forms of
sodium citrate, otherwise known as
citric acid sodium salt, and the
monohydrate and monopotassium forms
of potassium citrate. Sodium citrate also
includes both trisodium citrate and
monosodium citrate which are also
known as citric acid trisodium salt and
citric acid monosodium salt,
respectively.
The scope does not include calcium
citrate that satisfies the standards set
forth in the United States Pharmacopeia
and has been mixed with a functional
excipient, such as dextrose or starch,
where the excipient constitutes at least
2 percent, by weight, of the product.
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),

As noted above, Commerce received
no comments on its Preliminary Results.
As a result, we have not modified our
analysis, and will not issue a decision
memorandum to accompany this
Federal Register notice. Further,
because we have not changed our
calculations since the Preliminary
Results, there are no new calculations to
disclose in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b) for these final results. We are
adopting the Preliminary Results as the
final results.

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) 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
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review. We will
calculate importer-specific assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for each
importer’s examined sales and the total
entered value of the importer’s sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
Where the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is either zero
or de minimis within the meaning of 19
CFR 351.106(c), or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.

Commerce’s ‘‘reseller policy’’ will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by companies
included in these final results of review
for which the reviewed companies did
not know that the merchandise they
sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller,
trading company, or exporter) was
destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.4
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 for estimated antidumping
duties 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 companies
listed above will be equal to each
company’s weighted-average dumping
margin established in the final results of
this administrative review (except if that
rate is de minimis, in which situation
the cash deposit rate will be zero); (2)
for merchandise exported by a producer
or exporter 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,
the cash deposit rate will be the
company-specific rate established for
the most recent period for the producer
of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 11.25 percent,5 the
all-others rate established in the less4 For a full discussion of this practice, see

than-fair-value investigation. These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Notification to Importers Regarding the
Reimbursement of Duties
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.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to 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 the return or
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 sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5).

As noted above, Commerce received no comments on its Preliminary
Results. As a result, we have not modified our analysis, and will not
issue a decision memorandum to accompany this Federal Register notice.
Further, because we have not changed our calculations since the
Preliminary Results, there are no new calculations to disclose in

adopting the Preliminary Results as the final results.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) 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 merchandise in accordance with the final results of
this review. We will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for
each importer's examined sales and the total entered value of the
importer's sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
Where the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is either
zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c), or an
importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to

company(ies) involved in the transaction.\4\

U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties
