Sour Deal Continues: China Citric Acid Taxes Stay Put
Published Date: 4/15/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep the antidumping duties on citric acid and certain citrate salts from China because removing them could lead to unfair low prices again. This means U.S. makers of these products stay protected, and the duties will continue starting April 15, 2026. No changes in money or timing were made, but the review was sped up since only domestic parties responded.
