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.
The Commerce Department is amending the final results published July 29 of the antidumping administrative review on softwood lumber products from Canada (A-122-857).
