SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On February 6, 2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register the 
Preliminary Results \1\ of the administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on citric acid and certain citrate salts from Canada. This 
review covers one producer/exporter of the subject merchandise, JBL 
Canada. We invited parties to comment on the Preliminary Results.\2\ No 
interested party submitted comments.\3\ Further, no party submitted a 
request for a hearing in the instant review. Commerce conducted this 
administrative review in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Citric Acid and Citrate Salts from Canada: Preliminary 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2016-2017, 83 FR 
5246 (February 6, 2018) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM).
    \2\ Id.
    \3\ JBL Canada submitted a case brief stating: ``Respondent JBL 
has no comments on the Department's Preliminary Results. JBL 
reserves the right to submit a rebuttal brief in response to any 
issue(s) which may be raised by Petitioners in their case brief.'' 
See letter from JBL ``Eighth Administrative Review of the 
Antidumping Order on Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Sales from 
Canada--JBL Canada's Case Brief,'' dated March 8, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order \4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Citric Acid and Citrate Salts from Canada and the 
People's Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Orders, 74 FR 25703 
(May 29, 2009) (the Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The merchandise subject to the order is citric acid and certain 
citrate salts from Canada. The product is currently classified under 
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings 
2918.14.0000, 2918.15.1000, 2918.15.5000, and 3824.90.9290. Although 
the HTSUS numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes, 
the written product description, available in the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum,\5\ remains dispositive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see 
the PDM at 2, which can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    As no parties submitted comments on the margin calculation 
methodology used in the Preliminary Results, Commerce made no 
adjustments to that methodology in the final results of this review.

Final Results of the Review

    As a result of this review, Commerce determines that the following 
weighted-average dumping margin exists for entries of subject 
merchandise that were produced and/or exported by the following company 
during the POR:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                            Weighted-
                 Manufacturer/exporter                    average margin
                                                            (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jungbunzlauer Canada, Inc..............................            0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of 
subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this 
review, pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b).\6\ Because we calculated a zero margin for JBL Canada in 
the final results of this review, we intend to instruct CBP to 
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. 
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice, for 
entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by JBL Canada 
for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for the 
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the 
all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) 
involved in the transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce intends to issue the appropriate assessment instructions 
to CBP 41 days after the date of publication of these final results of 
review, in accordance with 19 CFR 356.8(a).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the notice of these final results for all shipments of 
citric acid and certain citrate salts from Canada entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date as 
provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for 
merchandise produced or exported by JBL Canada will be zero; (2) for 
merchandise exported by manufacturers or exporters not covered in this 
review but covered in a completed prior segment of the proceeding, the 
cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate 
published for the most recently completed segment; (3) if the exporter 
is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original 
investigation but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be 
the rate established for the most recently completed segment for the 
manufacturer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all 
other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 23.21 percent, the 
all-others rate established in the Order. These cash deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent assessment of 
double antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), this notice also serves as 
a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) 
of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of 
proprietary information disclosed under the APO, which continues to 
govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of 
APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby 
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO 
is a violation subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We intend to issue and publish these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and 
351.221(b)(5).
