China Citric Acid: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review

The Commerce Department has published the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on citric acid and certain citrate salts from China (A-570-937). The agency preliminarily assigned the RZBC group of companies -- RZBC Group Co., Ltd., RZBC Co., Ltd., RZBC Import & Export Co., Ltd., and RZBC (Juxian) Co., Ltd. -- a zero percent AD rate for the period May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024. If that rate is confirmed in Commerce's final results, the agency won't set assessments on importers of AD for subject merchandise from RZBC entered during that period, and a zero percent cash deposit rate would take effect upon publication of those final results.

Only the four exporters -- the RZBC group of companies -- of subject merchandise for which an administrative review was requested are covered by this review. Cash deposit rates for all other exporters will not change.

Commerce has ordered liquidation “as entered” at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry for subject merchandise entered May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024, that was exported by companies that are not under review (i.e., all except the four in the RZBC group listed above) (ADCVDWeb Message # 4222424).

(The period of review is 05/01/23 -- 04/30/24. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
