The USITC has scheduled the final phase for citric acid from Canada and India.

The US International Trade Commission (USITC) published a notice in the Federal Register on 11 September 2026, scheduling the final phase of antidumping and countervailing duty investigations concerning citric acid and certain citrate salts from Canada and India . The notice is listed under document number 2026-18586 in the US federal publication .

The notice title describes the procedure as the “scheduling of the final phase of countervailing duty and antidumping duty investigations” . It therefore covers both the countervailing duty and antidumping strands, although the accessible extract does not set out the matters submitted to this phase .

Case numbers cited

The notice identifies countervailing duty cases 701-TA-783-784 . This numbering comprises two consecutive references, 701-TA-783 and 701-TA-784, combined in the same scheduling notice .

The same notice cites antidumping cases 731-TA-1771-1772 . These references correspond to case numbers 731-TA-1771 and 731-TA-1772, which are likewise combined in the title of the published procedure .

The four case numbers are associated in the notice title with goods from Canada and India . The notice does not allocate the 701-TA and 731-TA case numbers between the two countries in the available extract . Nor does it specify in that extract the order of the examinations or the dates for hearings, submissions or the final determination .

The Federal Register page available in the file refers to an automated-access restriction and to documentation for its application programming interface . The available content confirms the notice title, publication date, countries concerned and case series, without reproducing the full notice text .

Products covered and tariff references

The notice identifies citric acid and certain citrate salts as the goods covered by the investigations cited in the preceding section . This description links citric acid to a category of citrate salts without specifying, in the extract available in the file, the physical forms, concentrations, packaging or uses of the goods .

Four subheadings of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, or HTSUS, are cited: 2918.14.00, 2918.15.10, 2918.15.50 and 3824.99.93 . The first three references fall under heading 2918 in the list reproduced by the notice, while the fourth is subheading 3824.99.93 . The notice thus links four tariff references to the description “citric acid and certain citrate salts” .

• HTSUS 2918.14.00
• HTSUS 2918.15.10
• HTSUS 2918.15.50
• HTSUS 3824.99.93

The file does not reproduce the full tariff descriptions corresponding to each of these HTSUS subheadings . Nor does it provide an additional technical definition distinguishing included from excluded products within the cited categories . No reference to an annex setting out the product description is reproduced in the accessible Federal Register content .

The notice available in the file does not reproduce the detailed timetable for the final phase . The accessible content therefore does not specify dates for hearings, submissions, questionnaire responses or the final determination . It also does not provide the text of any procedural instructions relating to the stages of that phase .

The file provides neither alleged dumping margins nor antidumping or countervailing duty rates . It also contains no numerical breakdown between goods originating in Canada and those originating in India . No import volume, import value or market data are reproduced in the accessible notice .

The available documentation is therefore limited, as regards tariff coverage, to the product description and the four cited HTSUS subheadings . Information not reproduced in the file includes full tariff descriptions, technical product parameters, the detailed timetable and numerical data on margins or duties .
