The Petition
On June 25, 2015, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) received an
antidumping duty (AD) petition
concerning imports of certain
hydrofluorocarbon blends and certain
single hydrofluorocarbon components
thereof (HFCs) from the People’s
Republic of China (PRC), filed in proper
form on behalf of the American HFC
Coalition and its individual members,1

as well as District Lodge 154 of the
International Association of Machinists
and Aerospace Workers (collectively,
the petitioners).2 The petitioners are
either domestic manufacturers or
blenders of HFCs, or a union
representing the HFC industry.3
On June 30, 2015, the Department
requested additional information and
clarification of certain areas of the
Petition.4 The petitioners filed
responses to these requests on July 6,
2015, July 7, 2015, and July 14, 2015.5
In accordance with section 732(b) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), the petitioners allege that imports
of HFCs from the PRC are being, or are
likely to be, sold in the United States at
less than fair value within the meaning
of section 731 of the Act, and that such
imports are materially injuring, or
threatening material injury to, an
industry in the United States. Also,
consistent with section 732(b)(1) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.202(b), the Petition
is accompanied by information
Chemours Company FC LLC, Honeywell
International Inc., Hudson Technologies, Mexichem
Fluor Inc., and Worthington Industries, Inc.

Duties on Imports of Hydrofluorocarbon Blends and

The Department finds that the
petitioners filed the Petition on behalf of
the domestic industry because the

finds that the petitioners demonstrated
sufficient industry support with respect
to the initiation of this AD
investigation.6

25, 2015, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.204(b)(1), the period of

investigation are blended HFCs and
certain single HFC components of those
