AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The U.S. Department of Commerce has postponed the preliminary determinations in the countervailing duty investigations of citric acid and certain citrate salts imported from Canada and India. The investigations were initiated on February 10, 2026. The original deadline for preliminary determinations was April 16, 2026. Following a timely request from the petitioners on March 17, 2026, Commerce is extending the deadline to June 22, 2026. The petitioners requested the postponement because the mandatory respondents had not yet submitted complete responses to the initial questionnaires, allowing time for supplemental questionnaires and further review.
