Accordingly, no decision memorandum accompanies this Federal Register notice. The Preliminary Results are hereby adopted in these final results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 2, 2024, Commerce published the preliminary results of the 
2022-2023 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on citric 
acid and certain citrate salts (citric acid) from Belgium \1\ in the 
Federal Register and invited interested parties to comment.\2\ We 
received no comments from interested parties on the Preliminary 
Results, and we have made no changes to the Preliminary Results. 
Accordingly, no decision memorandum accompanies this Federal Register 
notice. The Preliminary Results are hereby adopted in these final 
results. Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance 
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Colombia and Thailand: Antidumping Duty Orders, 83 FR 35214 (July 
25, 2018) (Order).
    \2\ See Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Salts from Belgium: 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2022-
2023, 89 FR 22674 (April 2, 2024) (Preliminary Results), and 
accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by this Order include 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. For a full description of the scope of the Order, see 
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

exists for the period July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                        Weighted-average

Citribel nv..........................................               0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations 
of the final results of an administrative review within five days of a 
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, 
because we have made no changes to the Preliminary Results, there are 
no calculations to disclose.

Assessment Rates

    Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b), upon completion of the administrative review, Commerce 
shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall 
assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject 
merchandise covered this review. Because the respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero 
or de minimis in the final results of review, we intend to instruct CBP 
to liquidate entries without regard to antidumping duties.\3\ The final 
results of this administrative 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.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102-03 (February 14, 
2012); see also 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
    \4\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by 
Citribel, for which the producer did not know that its merchandise was 
destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate 
unreviewed entries at the

[[Page 59894]]

all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) 
involved in the transaction.
    Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier 
than 35 days after the date of publication of these 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 upon 
publication in the Federal Register of the notice of final results of 
administrative review for all shipments of citric acid from Belgium 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
date of publication as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: 
(1) the cash deposit rate for Citribel will be equal to the weighted-
average dumping margin established in the final results of this 
administrative review (i.e., 0.00 percent); (2) for merchandise 
exported by a company 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 in the completed 
segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm 
covered in this review or another completed segment of this proceeding, 
but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the company-
specific rate established for 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 19.30 
percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value 
investigation.\5\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 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 the POR. 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 final 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). 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 subject 
to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    Commerce is issuing and publishing the final results of this review 
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 
CFR 351.221(b)(5).
