The Department of Commerce has completed an administrative review regarding the sale of citric acid and certain citrate salts by S.A. Citrique Belge N.V. (Citrique Belge) from Belgium during January 8, 2018, to June 30, 2019. They determined that Citrique Belge did not sell these products at prices below the usual market value, resulting in zero antidumping duties. Consequently, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will liquidate relevant entries without imposing additional antidumping duties. The cash deposit requirement for Citrique Belge will be zero, while other manufacturers and exporters not covered by this review will continue with the previous deposit rate until further notice.
Simple Explanation
The Commerce Department looked into whether a Belgian company was selling citric acid super cheap in the U.S., which could hurt local businesses. They found out the company wasn't doing that, so there's no extra tax for people buying from them.
