raised in the hearing will be limited to
those raised in the respective case and
rebuttal briefs. If a request for a hearing
is made, parties will be notified of the
time and date for the hearing to be
held.15 Commerce intends to issue the
final results of this administrative
review, which will include the results of
our analysis of all issues raised in the
case briefs, within 120 days of
publication of these preliminary results
in the Federal Register, unless
extended, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
the most recent period; (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 the China-wide rate
of 111.73 percent; 18 and (4) for all nonChinese exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to Chinese
exporter(s) that supplied that nonChinese exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results of
this review, Commerce will determine,
and CBP will assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered
by this review.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). Pursuant
to Commerce’s practice in NME cases, if
we continue to determine in the final
results that TMI/TMM had no
shipments of subject merchandise, any
suspended entries of subject
merchandise during the POR from these
companies will be liquidated at the
China-wide rate.17
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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.
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 review, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act: (1) For TMI/TMM, which
claimed no shipments, the cash deposit
rate will remain unchanged from the
rate assigned to TMI/TMM in the most
recently completed review of the
companies; (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed Chinese and
non-Chinese exporters who are not
under review in this segment of the
proceeding but who have separate rates,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the exporter-specific rate published for
19 CFR 310(d).
16 See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694
(October 24, 2011).
Notification to Interested Parties
These preliminary results of review
are issued and published in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 22, 2021, Commerce
published the Preliminary Results.1 This
review covers one producer/exporter of
the subject merchandise, Sucroal. We
invited parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results. No party submitted
comments. Accordingly, the final results
remain unchanged from the Preliminary
Results.
Scope of the Order 2
The merchandise covered by 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

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

days of any 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,
Commerce made no adjustments to the
margin calculation methodology used in
the Preliminary Results; therefore, there
are no calculations to disclose for the
final results.

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 antidumping duty
(AD) assessment rates. We calculated
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001
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).
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, in
accordance with 19 CFR 356.8(a). 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).
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of the
notice of these final results for all
shipments of citric acid from Colombia
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of
publication provided by section
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit
rate for Sucroal will be equal to the
dumping margin established in the final
results of this review; (2) for
merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this review but
covered in a completed prior segment of
the proceeding, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the companyspecific rate published for the most
recently-completed segment of this
proceeding in which the producer and/
or exporter participated; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the original
less-than-fair-value investigation but the
producer is, then the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recently completed segment of the
proceeding for the producer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 28.48 percent, the
all-others rate established in the lessthan-fair-value investigation.3 These
cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping

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
antidumping duty (AD) assessment rates. We calculated importer- (or

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).
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier

The following deposit requirements will be effective upon

citric acid from Colombia entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of publication provided by section
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Sucroal will be
equal to the dumping margin established in the final results of this
review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or exporters not
covered in this review but covered in a completed prior segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recently-completed segment of this

the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or
the original less-than-fair-value investigation but the producer is,
then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most
recently completed segment of the proceeding for the producer of the
