SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 22, 2022, Commerce published the Preliminary Results.\1\
Subsequently, on August 22, 2022, we received one case brief from
Archer Daniels Midland Company, Cargill, Incorporated, and Tate & Lyle
Ingredients Americas LLC (collectively, the petitioners).\2\ No
additional comments were submitted. This review covers one producer/
exporter of the subject merchandise, Sucroal S.A. (Sucroal). Commerce
conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case brief are addressed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum. The issue that the petitioners raised and to which
we responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached at the
appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service
System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at <a href="https://access.trade.gov">https://access.trade.gov</a>. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at <a href="https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx">https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx</a>.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the comments received, and for the reasons
explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we made one change to
the preliminary weighted-average dumping margin calculations for
Sucroal.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of the Administrative Review
Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping
margin exists for the period July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021:

Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in
connection with these final results of review to interested parties
within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public
announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice
of final results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties (AD) on all
appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final
results of this review. For Sucroal, because its weighted-average
dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent),
Commerce has calculated importer-specific AD assessment rates. We
calculated importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem AD assessment
rates by dividing the total amount of dumping calculated for the
importer's examined sales by the total entered value of the same sales
for that importer, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 356.8(a). If
a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the
assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant
entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory
injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).
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 from Colombia entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of publication provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for Sucroal will be
equal to the dumping margin established in the final results of this
review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers 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 of this
proceeding in which the producer and/or exporter participated; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or
the original less-than-fair-value investigation but the producer is,
then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most
recently completed segment of the proceeding for the producer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or
exporters will continue to be 28.48 percent, the all-others rate
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation.\6\ These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice 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 review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 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
the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: November 4, 2022.
