U.S. Keeps Antidumping Duties on Chinese Difluoromethane R-32
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The notice keeps the antidumping duty order on difluoromethane, known as R-32, imported from China. Commerce found that ending the order would likely allow dumping to continue or return, so the duties remain in place after an expedited sunset review. This matters for importers, distributors, HVAC and refrigerant supply chains, and U.S. producers of R-32. Companies importing Chinese R-32 should continue factoring antidumping duties into landed costs, pricing, sourcing decisions, and compliance filings.
