Citrus Shield Up: China Salt Duties Get Extended
Published Date: 4/15/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep extra taxes on citric acid and certain citrate salts imported from China because removing them could let unfair government help continue. This affects U.S. companies like Archer-Daniels-Midland and Cargill, who want a level playing field. These duties stay in place starting April 15, 2026, helping protect American businesses from unfair competition.
