The Department of Commerce has determined that two Thai companies, COFCO Biochemical and Niran, sold citric acid and citrate salts in the U.S. at prices below normal value during the specified review period, leading to antidumping duties being assessed on these sales. However, they found that Sunshine Biotech did not sell these products below normal value. The final results of this review mean that these antidumping duties will be applied to affected entries, and specific cash deposit rates are now being implemented for future imports from these firms, except when the margins are minimal. The notice also reminds importers of their responsibilities regarding antidumping duties and the handling of proprietary information.
Simple Explanation
The government checked and found that two companies from Thailand were selling a kind of sour powder, called citric acid, to the U.S. for less money than usual, so they have to pay extra fees. But another company did everything right and doesn’t have to pay extra money.
