Does Australia have anti-dumping duty on citric acid from China?
The Australia anti-dumping file dated 16 May 2026 lists a measure named "Citric acid measures" on citric acid anhydrous and citric acid monohydrate. The row names China and Thailand as separate measures, and it tags HS 2918.14 and 2918.15. The cash-deposit percent is not in the file.
The tariff file on the same date does not store a customs-duty percent or a ChAFTA percent for those codes. It only says to verify the ABF working tariff. This page is the Australia file only. It does not state a US duty or a Section 301 percent.

Thailand is in the same row as a separate measure. This page does not apply the China row to a Thai shipment, and it does not treat "All exporters per country" as a rate. HS 2918.15 in the tariff file is "Salts and esters of citric acid". The measure text names anhydrous and monohydrate citric acid. The tag is not proof that every salt under 2918.15 is in scope.
What the tariff file stores
Source: the Australia tariff file, updated_at 2026-05-16T22:20:11.276Z, 2,895 rows, from the ABF current tariff. Neither row stores a numeric duty rate.
| HS | Description | Duty rate in the file | GST flag | FTA codes listed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2918.14 | Citric acid | verify per abf.gov.au Working Tariff before invoicing | true | ChAFTA, RCEP, AANZFTA, CPTPP |
| 2918.15 | Salts and esters of citric acid | verify per abf.gov.au Working Tariff before invoicing | true | ChAFTA, RCEP, AANZFTA, CPTPP |
ChAFTA appears on the list. The file does not store a preferential percent, so this page does not call the China rate zero. The GST flag is true. The file does not store a GST dollar for a given invoice.

Yes. Both 2918.14 and 2918.15 set gst_applicable to true. The file does not store a GST dollar amount for a shipment.
