China HFC Blends: Final Results of AD Admin Review

The Commerce Department has released the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on hydrofluorocarbon blends from China (A-570-028). The agency said that none of the respondents subject to the final results of the review demonstrated independence from state control, and therefore were assigned to the China-wide entity, with a rate of 216.37%.

The rate applies to 16 companies, which are listed in the Appendix to the notice.

Commerce will assess AD at 216.37% for importers of subject merchandise from the 16 China-wide entity companies entered Aug. 1, 2022, through July 31, 2023. A cash deposit rate of 216.37% takes effect for these companies upon publication of the final results in the Federal Register, set for Sept. 20.

For any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except those listed in the Appendix of the notice), cash deposit rates will remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. For companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the China-wide rate of 216.37% applies.

(The review period is 08/01/22 - 07/31/23. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2405100038 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
