China R-134a: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department published the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R-134a) from China (A-570-044). The agency preliminarily assigned the 23 companies for which a review was requested that didn't qualify for a separate rate to the China-wide entity, which has an AD rate of 167.02%. Any changes to cash deposit rates for the 23 companies remaining under review would take effect on the publication date of the final results of this review. If the preliminary rate is confirmed in the final results, Commerce will order liquidation for subject merchandise entered April 1, 2022, through March 31, 2023, at the China-wide rate of 167.02%.

The following companies that qualified for a separate rate had their reviews rescinded because they had no shipments during the review period: Jiangsu Bluestar Green Technology Co., Ltd; Jiangsu Sanmei Chemicals Co., Ltd.; T.T. International Co., Ltd.; Weitron International Refrigeration Equipment (Kunshan) Co. Ltd. (aka Weichang Refrigeration Equipment (Kunshan) Co., Ltd.); and Zhejiang Sanmei Chemical Industry Co. Ltd. The cash deposit rate for these companies won't change as a result of this review, and any entries under their case numbers will be liquidated at the China-wide rate.
Commerce has ordered liquidation “as entered” at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry for subject merchandise entered April 1, 2022, through March 31, 2023, that was exported by companies for which a review was not requested (ADCVDWeb Message # 3198410).
(The period of review is 04/01/22 - 03/31/23. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
