Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Salts From Canada and India; 
Determinations

(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the 
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of citric acid 
and certain citrate salts from Canada and India, 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, that are alleged to be 
sold in the United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'') and 
imports of the subject merchandise from Canada and India that are 
alleged to be subsidized by the governments of Canada and India.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in Sec.  207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).

Commencement of Final Phase Investigations

    Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the 
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of 
its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of 
scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register as

provided in Sec.  207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from 
the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative 
preliminary determinations in the investigations under Sec. Sec.  
703(b) or 733(b) of the Act, or, if the preliminary determinations are 
negative, upon notice of affirmative final determinations in those 
investigations under Sec. Sec.  705(a) or 735(a) of the Act. Parties 
that filed entries of appearance in the preliminary phase of the 
investigations need not enter a separate appearance for the final phase 
of the investigations. Any other party may file an entry of appearance 
for the final phase of the investigations after publication of the 
final phase notice of scheduling. Industrial users, and, if the 
merchandise under investigation is sold at the retail level, 
representative consumer organizations have the right to appear as 
parties in Commission antidumping and countervailing duty 
investigations. The Secretary will prepare a public service list 
containing the names and addresses of all persons, or their 
representatives, who are parties to the investigations. As provided in 
section 207.20 of the Commission's rules, the Director of the Office of 
Investigations will circulate draft questionnaires for the final phase 
of the investigations to parties to the investigations, placing copies 
on the Commission's Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, 
<a href="https://edis.usitc.gov">https://edis.usitc.gov</a>), for comment.

Background

    On January 21, 2026, Archer-Daniels-Midland Company, Decatur, 
Illinois; Cargill, Incorporated, Wayzata, Minnesota; and Primary 
Products Ingredients Americas LLC, Schaumburg, Illinois, filed 
petitions with the Commission and Commerce, alleging that an industry 
in the United States is materially injured or threatened with material 
injury by reason of subsidized imports of citric acid and certain 
citrate salts from Canada and India and LTFV imports of citric acid and 
certain citrate salts from Canada and India. Accordingly, effective 
January 21, 2026, the Commission instituted countervailing duty 
investigation Nos. 701-TA-783-784 and antidumping duty investigation 
Nos. 731-TA-1771-1772 (Preliminary).
    Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of 
a public conference to be held in connection therewith was given by 
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the 
notice in the Federal Register of January 26, 2026 (91 FR 3221). The 
Commission conducted its conference on February 11, 2026. All persons 
who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.  
703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It 
completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on March 
9, 2026. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 
5716 (March 2026), entitled Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Salts from 
Canada and India: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-783-784 and 731-TA-1771-
1772 (Preliminary).

    By order of the Commission.
