Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in 
connection with these final results of review to interested parties 
within five 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).

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties (AD) 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).
    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).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    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citric acid from Colombia entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 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)(C) 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 
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 less-than-fair-value investigation.\6\ These cash 
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 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.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a 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), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. 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 results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: November 4, 2022.
