China HFC Blends: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department has published the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on hydrofluorocarbon blends from China (A-570-028). The agency said that none of the respondents remaining in the review demonstrated independence from state control, and therefore were assigned to the China-wide entity, with a rate of 216.37%.

Export Compliance Daily combines U.S. export control news, foreign border import regulation and policy developments into a single daily information service that reliably informs its trade professional readers about important current issues affecting their operations.
Zhejiang Sanmei Chemical Ind. Co., Ltd. and ICool Chemical Co., Ltd. were the only two companies that qualified for a separate rate and mandatory respondent status, but they will not be reviewed at all, as requests for their review were withdrawn.
The review is also being rescinded for Zhejiang Yonghe Refrigerant Co., Ltd., which had no suspended entries of subject merchandise during the review period.
The remaining 16 companies for which a review was requested but which didn't demonstrate independence from Chinese government control preliminarily were assigned to the China-wide entity, and that rate is not subject to review. See the Appendix to the notice for the list of these companies.
If these preliminary results are adopted unchanged, Commerce will in its final results assess AD at 216.37% for importers of subject merchandise from the China-wide entity companies entered Aug. 1, 2022, through July 31, 2023. A cash deposit rate of 216.37% would take effect for the 16 China-wide companies upon publication of the final results in the Federal Register.
Commerce already has ordered liquidation as entered for subject merchandise entered Aug. 1, 2022, through July 31, 2023, that was exported by companies that are not under review (i.e., all except the companies listed above) (AD/CVDWeb Message # 3326443).
(The period of review is 08/01/22 - 07/31/23. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
