Summary
The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of the final phase of antidumping and countervailing duty investigation Nos. 701-TA-783-784 and 731-TA-1771-1772 (Final) pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 to determine whether an industry in the United States is materially injured or threatened with material injury, or the establishment of an industry in the United States is materially retarded, by reason of imports of citric acid and certain citrate salts, provided for in subheadings 2918.14.00, 2918.15.10, 2918.15.50, and 3824.99.93 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, from China that have been preliminarily determined by the Department of Commerce ("Commerce") to be subsidized by the government of China and sold at less-than-fair-value, and by reason of imports of citric acid and certain citrate salts from Canada that have been preliminarily determined by Commerce to be subsidized by the government of Canada but preliminarily determined by Commerce not to be, or not likely to be, sold at less-than-fair-value.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Preliminary Findings on Imports
Commerce has preliminarily found that imports of citric acid and certain citrate salts from China and India have been subsidized and sold at less-than-fair-value, while imports from Canada were preliminarily found subsidized but not sold at less-than-fair-value. The U.S. International Trade Commission has scheduled a final phase to decide whether U.S. industry is materially injured or threatened with material injury by these imports.
Product Scope That’s Covered
The investigation covers all grades and granulation sizes of citric acid, sodium citrate, and potassium citrate, including blends where the unblended citric components make up 40 percent or more by weight, crude calcium citrate intermediates, and products processed in a third country; it excludes calcium citrate that meets United States Pharmacopeia standards and is mixed with a functional excipient that constitutes at least 2 percent by weight. If your imported or manufactured product matches this description, it is explicitly within the scope of these investigations.
