USITC Votes To Continue Investigations On Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Salts from Canada and India

The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured due to imports of citric acid and certain citrate salts from Canada and India that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the governments of Canada and India.

Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative.

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations of imports of citric acid and certain citrate salts from Canada and India.

The Commission’s public report, Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Salts from Canada and India (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-783-784 and 731-TA-1771-1772 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5716, March 2026), will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.

The report will be available by April 13, 2026; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website.
