The product covered by these orders is vanillin from China. For a complete description of the scope of these orders, see the appendix to this notice. Antidumping Duty Order On July 18, 2025, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination that an industry in the United States is materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of imports of vanillin that are sold in the United States for less than fair value. Therefore, in accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act, Commerce is issuing this AD order. Because the ITC determined that imports of vanillin from China are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from China, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties. Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise for all relevant entries of vanillin from China. Antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of vanillin from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after January 16, 2025, the date of publication of the LTFV Preliminary Determination, but will not include entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before publication of the ITC's final injury determination, as further described in the ``Provisional Measures--AD '' section of this notice. See Vanillin from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, Postponement of Final Determination and Extension of Provisional Measures, 90 FR 4720 (January 16, 2025) (LTFV Preliminary Determination), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits--AD In accordance with section 736 of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation of vanillin from China, effective on the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins indicated in the table below. The rate for the China-wide entity applies to all producers and exporters not specifically listed below, as appropriate. Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins The estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as follows: Cash deposit rate Weighted-average (adjusted for Exporter Producer dumping margin subsidy offsets) (percent) (percent) Jiangxi Brother Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd Jiangxi Brother 190.20 190.15 Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

Provisional Measures--AD Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request that Commerce extend the four-month period to no more than six months. Commerce published the LTFV Preliminary Determination on January 16, 2025. The provisional measures period, beginning on the date of publication of the LTFV Preliminary Determination, ended on July 14, 2025. Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and our practice, Commerce will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated entries of vanillin from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption after July 14, 2025, the final day on which the provisional measures were in effect, until and through the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation and the collection of cash deposits will resume on the date of publication of the ITC's final determination in the Federal Register.
