Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review,
including the results of its analysis of
issues raised in any written briefs, not
later than 120 days after the date of
publication of this notice, unless
otherwise extended.12
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).
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the final results
of this administrative review, Commerce
shall determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries.13 Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), if Samyoung’s weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent)
in the final results of this review, we
intend to calculate importer-specific
assessment rates based on the ratio of
the total amount of dumping calculated
for the importer’s examined sales to the
total entered value of those same sales
in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).14 If Samyoung’s
weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis within the meaning
of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importerspecific assessment rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.15 The final results
of this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise covered by the
final results of this review and for future
deposits of estimated duties, where
applicable.16
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Samyoung
for which it did not know that the
merchandise it sold 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(ies) involved in
the transaction.17
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
The following deposit requirements
will be effective 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withdrawn from warehouse, for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 the company listed
above will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin established in
the final results of this 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 merchandise exported by a
company not covered in this review but
covered in a prior segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate
published in the completed segment for
the most recent period; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, or a previous segment, but the
producer is, then the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established in the
completed segment for the most recent
period for the producer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 17.08 percent, the
all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.18 These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Background
On July 28, 2023, Commerce
published the Preliminary Results of
this review in the Federal Register and
invited interested parties to comment on
those results.1 No interested party
submitted comments on the Preliminary
Results. Accordingly, the final results
remain unchanged from the Preliminary
Results and, thus, there is no decision
memorandum accompanying this
notice. Commerce conducted this
review in accordance with section
1 See Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Salts from
Colombia: Preliminary Results of Antidumping

Scope of the Order 2
The merchandise covered by 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),
respectively. Potassium citrate and
crude calcium citrate are classifiable
under 2918.15.5000 and, if included in
a mixture or blend, 3824.99.9397 of the
HTSUS. Blends that include citric acid,
sodium citrate, and potassium citrate
are classifiable under 3824.99.9397 of
the HTSUS. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise
is dispositive.
Final Results of Review
Commerce determines that the
following weighted-average dumping
margin exists for the period July 1, 2021,
through June 30, 2022:

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce will disclose to
the parties in a proceeding the
calculations performed in connection
with the final results of review 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). However,
Commerce made no adjustments to the
margin calculation methodology used in
the Preliminary Results; therefore, there
are no calculations to disclose for these
final results.
Assessment Rate
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
Commerce shall determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), where the respondent
reported the entered value of its U.S.
sales, we calculated importer-specific
antidumping duty assessment rates by
aggregating the total amount of dumping
calculated for the examined sales of
each importer and dividing each of
these amounts by the total entered value
associated with those sales. Where the
respondent did not report entered value,
we calculated a per-unit assessment rate
for each importer by dividing the total
amount of dumping calculated for the
examined sales made to that importer by
the total quantity associated with those
sales. To determine whether an
importer-specific, per-unit assessment
rate is de minimis, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we also calculated
an importer-specific ad valorem ratio
based on estimated entered values.
Where either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), 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 ‘‘automatic assessment’’
will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced
by the mandatory respondent for which
the company did not know that the
merchandise it sold to an intermediary
(e.g., a reseller, trading company, or
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4703

exporter) was destined for the United
States. In such instances, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at
the all-others rate if there is no rate for
the intermediate company(ies) involved
in the transaction.3
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 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 S.A. will
be equal to the weighted-average
dumping margin established in these
final results of this administrative
review; (2) for merchandise exported by
a company not covered in this
administrative 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;
(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 recentlycompleted 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.4 These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 28, 2023, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of
this review in the Federal Register and invited interested parties to
comment on those results.\1\ No interested party submitted comments on
the Preliminary Results. Accordingly, the final results remain
unchanged from the Preliminary Results and, thus, there is no decision
memorandum accompanying this notice. Commerce conducted this review in
accordance with section
[[Page 65655]]
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The merchandise covered by 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), respectively. Potassium citrate and crude calcium citrate are
classifiable under 2918.15.5000 and, if included in a mixture or blend,
3824.99.9397 of the HTSUS. Blends that include citric acid, sodium
citrate, and potassium citrate are classifiable under 3824.99.9397 of
the HTSUS. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience
and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise is
dispositive.
Final Results of Review
Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping
margin exists for the period July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average dumping
Exporter/producer margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sucroal S.A............................................ 6.10

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce will disclose to the parties in a proceeding the
calculations performed in connection with the final results of review
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). However, Commerce made no adjustments to the margin
calculation methodology used in the Preliminary Results; therefore,
there are no calculations to disclose for these final results.
Assessment Rate
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), where
the respondent reported the entered value of its U.S. sales, we
calculated importer-specific antidumping duty assessment rates by
aggregating the total amount of dumping calculated for the examined
sales of each importer and dividing each of these amounts by the total
entered value associated with those sales. Where the respondent did not
report entered value, we calculated a per-unit assessment rate for each
importer by dividing the total amount of dumping calculated for the
examined sales made to that importer by the total quantity associated
with those sales. To determine whether an importer-specific, per-unit
assessment rate is de minimis, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2),
we also calculated an importer-specific ad valorem ratio based on
estimated entered values. Where either the respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19
CFR 351.106(c)(1), 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 ``automatic assessment'' will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the POR produced by the mandatory respondent
for which the company did not know that the merchandise it sold to an
intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was

to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within
90 days of publication).

will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in
these final results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise

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

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 POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in

destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective
order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and
the term of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
