in the amount of antidumping duties by
the amount of countervailing duties.
Administrative Protective Order

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 terms of an APO is a
violation which is subject to sanction.

Scope of the Order 3
The products covered by the Order
are chlorinated isos, which are
derivatives of cyanuric acid, described
as chlorinated s-triazine triones.
Chlorinated isos are currently
classifiable under subheadings
2933.69.6015, 2933.69.6021,
2933.69.6050, 3808.40.50, 3808.50.40

(HTSUS). The HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes only; the written product
description of the scope of the Order is
dispositive. For a full description of the
scope of the order, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
Commerce addressed all issues raised
in the case and rebuttal briefs in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
These issues are identified in the
appendix to this notice. The Issues and
Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file electronically
via Enforcement and Compliance’s
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System
(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to
registered users at https://
access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete
version of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum can be accessed directly
at https://access.trade.gov/public/
FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the
comments received, we have made
certain changes to the home market and
margin calculations for Ercros since the
Preliminary Results. Specifically, we
have revised Ercros’ home market
program to include certain movement
expenses and revised the margin
program to change currency conversions
for inland insurance and commissions.
Non-Individually Examined Companies
For the rate for non-selected
companies in an administrative review,
generally, Commerce looks to section
735(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), which provides
instructions for calculating the allothers rate in a market economy
investigation. Under section
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others
rate is normally ‘‘an amount equal to the
weighted average of the estimated
weighted average dumping margins

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce published the Preliminary Results on July 10, 2023.\1\ For

Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order are citric acid from China. A
full description of the scope of the order is provided in the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised an interested party's case brief are addressed in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of these issues is attached
as an appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a

https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues
and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and comments received from an
interested party regarding our Preliminary Results, we made two
revisions to the margin calculation for RZBC as explained in Comments 1
and 2 of the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of Review
Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping
margin exists for RZBC for the period May 1, 2021, through April 30,
2022:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-average
Exporter dumping margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
RZBC............................................... 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity, and
Commerce no longer considers the China-wide entity as an exporter
conditionally subject to administrative reviews,\3\ we did not conduct
a review of the China-wide entity. Thus, the weighted-average dumping
margin for the China-wide entity (i.e., 156.87 percent) \4\ is not
subject to change as a result of this review.

Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed within five days
of the date of publication of this notice to parties in this proceeding
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),
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 these final results of review. We intend
to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after
the date of publication of these final results. 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).
Where the respondent reported reliable entered values, Commerce
will calculate importer/customer-specific ad valorem assessment rates
by aggregating the amount of dumping calculated for all U.S. sales to
the importer/customer and dividing this amount by the total entered
value of the merchandise sold to the importer/customer.\5\ Where an
importer- (or customer-) specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis
(i.e., less than 0.50 percent), Commerce will instruct CBP to assess
that importer's (or customer's) entries of subject merchandise without
regard to antidumping duties in accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database submitted
by RZBC during this review, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate
such entries at the antidumping duty assessment rate for the China-wide
entity (i.e., 156.87 percent).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 from China entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for RZBC the cash
deposit rate will be the rate listed above; (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not listed
above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to
be the exporter-specific rate published for the most recently completed
segment of this proceeding in which they were reviewed; (3) for all
[[Page 77263]]
Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be
entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin for the China-wide entity (i.e., 156.87
percent); and (4) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise
which have not received their own separate rate, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter(s) that supplied
that non-Chinese exporter. 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 and/or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure
to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties has
occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties,
and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of
countervailing 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
terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative
review and notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of
