SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Antidumping Duty Order
On March 2, 2021, in accordance with
sections 735(b)(i)(A)(i) and 735(d) of the
Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its
final determination that an industry in
the United States is materially injured
by reason of imports of R–32 from
China.3 Therefore, in accordance with
section 735(c)(2) of the Act, we are
issuing this order. Because the ITC
determined that imports of R–32 from
China are materially injuring a U.S.
industry, unliquidated entries of such
merchandise from China which are
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption are subject to the
assessment of antidumping duties.
Therefore, in accordance with section
736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will
direct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further
instruction by Commerce, antidumping
duties equal to the amount by which the
normal value of the merchandise
exceeds the export price (or constructed
export price) of the subject
merchandise, for all relevant entries of
R–32 from China. Antidumping duties
will be assessed on unliquidated entries
of R–32 from China entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after August 27,
2020, the date of publication of the
Preliminary Determination.4
Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
In accordance with section 736 of the
Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to
continue to suspend liquidation on all
relevant entries of R–32 from China,
which are entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
the date of publication of the ITC’s final
determination in the Federal Register.
These instructions suspending
liquidation will remain in effect until
further notice.
Commerce will also instruct CBP to
require cash deposits for estimated
antidumping duties equal to the cash
deposit rates for each producer and
exporter combination listed below.
Accordingly, effective on the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
the ITC’s final determination, CBP will
require, at the same time as importers
would normally deposit estimated
duties on the subject merchandise, a
cash deposit equal to the rates listed
below:5

Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that
suspension of liquidation pursuant to an
affirmative preliminary determination
may not remain in effect for more than
four months, except that Commerce may
extend the four-month period to no
more than six months at the request of
exporters representing a significant
proportion of exports of the subject
merchandise. At the request of Taizhou
Qingsong Refrigerant New Material Co.,
Ltd. and Zibo Feiyuan Chemical Co.,
Ltd., exporters that account for a
significant proportion of R–32 from
China, we extended the four-month
period to six months.6 Commerce
published its Preliminary Determination
on August 27, 2020.
The extended provisional measures
period, beginning on the date of
publication of the Preliminary
Determination, ended on February 22,
2021. Therefore, in accordance with
section 733(d) of the Act and our
practice, we will instruct CBP to
terminate the suspension of liquidation
and to liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated
entries of R–32 from China, entered, or
withdrawn, from warehouse, for
consumption on or after February 23,
2021, the first day provisional measures
were no longer in effect, until and
through the day preceding the date of
publication of the ITC’s final
determination in the Federal Register.
Suspension of liquidation and the
collection of cash deposits will resume
on the date of publication of the ITC’s
final determination in the Federal
Register.

Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this order is
difluoromethane (R–32), or its chemical
equivalent, regardless of form, type or purity
level. R–32 has the Chemical Abstracts
Service (CAS) registry number of 75–10–5
and the chemical formula CH2 F2. R–32 is
also referred to as difluoromethane, HFC–32,
FC–32, Freon-32, methylene difluoride,
methylene fluoride, carbon fluoride hydride,
halocarbon R32, fluorocarbon R32, and UN
3252. Subject merchandise also includes R–
32 and unpurified R–32 that are processed in
a third country or the United States,
including, but not limited to, purifying or
any other processing that would not
otherwise remove the merchandise from the
scope of this order if performed in the
country of manufacture of the in-scope R–32.
R–32 that has been blended with products
other than pentafluoroethane (R–125) is
included within this scope if such blends
contain 85% or more by volume on an actual
percentage basis of R–32. In addition, R–32
that has been blended with any amount of R–
125 is included within this scope if such
blends contain more than 52% by volume on
an actual percentage basis of R–32. Whether
R–32 is blended with R–125 or other
products, only the R–32 component of the
mixture is covered by the scope of this order.
The scope also includes R–32 that is
commingled with R–32 from sources not
subject to this order. Only the subject
component of such commingled products is
covered by the scope of this order.
Excluded from the current scope is
merchandise covered by the scope of the
antidumping order on hydrofluorocarbon
blends from the People’s Republic of China.

SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final determinations by the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) and the International Trade Commission (ITC),
Commerce is issuing the antidumping duty (AD) order on difluoromethane
(R-32) from the People's Republic of China (China).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with section 735(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), on January 19, 2021, Commerce published its
affirmative final determination in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation of R-32 from China.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Difluoromethane (R-32) From the People's Republic of
China: Final Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair
Value, 86 FR 5136 (January 19, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On March 2, 2021, the ITC notified Commerce of its final
affirmative determination that an industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of imports of R-32 from China, within the
meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See ITC's Letter, Final Determination Notification, dated
March 2, 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this order is R-32 from China. For a
complete description of the scope of the order, see Appendix I to this
notice.
Antidumping Duty Order
On March 2, 2021, in accordance with sections 735(b)(i)(A)(i) and
735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination
that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason
of imports of R-32 from China.\3\ Therefore, in accordance with section
735(c)(2) of the Act, we are issuing this order. Because the ITC
determined that imports of R-32 from China are materially injuring a
U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from China
which are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption are
subject to the assessment of antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act,
Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal
to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the
export price (or constructed export price) of the subject merchandise,
for all relevant entries of R-32 from China. Antidumping duties will be
assessed on unliquidated entries of R-32 from China entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 27, 2020,
the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Difluoromethane (R-32) from the People's Republic of
China: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination, 85 FR 52950
(August 27, 2020) (Preliminary Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 736 of the Act, Commerce will instruct
CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant entries of R-32
from China, which are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of publication of the ITC's final
determination in the Federal Register. These instructions suspending
liquidation will remain in effect until further notice.
Commerce will also instruct CBP to require cash deposits for
estimated antidumping duties equal to the cash deposit rates for each
producer and exporter combination listed below. Accordingly, effective
on the date of publication in the Federal Register of the ITC's final
determination, CBP will require, at the same time as importers would
normally deposit estimated duties on the subject merchandise, a cash
deposit equal to the rates listed below:\5\

Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation
pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in
effect for more than four months, except that Commerce may extend the
four-month period to no more than six months at the request of
exporters representing a significant proportion of exports of the
subject merchandise. At the request of Taizhou Qingsong Refrigerant New
Material Co., Ltd. and Zibo Feiyuan Chemical Co., Ltd., exporters that
account for a significant proportion of R-32 from China, we extended
the four-month period to six months.\6\ Commerce published its
Preliminary Determination on August 27, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Preliminary Determination, 85 FR at 52952.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The extended provisional measures period, beginning on the date of
publication of the Preliminary Determination, ended on February 22,
2021. Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and our
practice, we will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of
liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties,
unliquidated entries of R-32 from China, entered, or withdrawn, from
warehouse, for consumption on or after February 23, 2021, the first day
provisional measures were no longer in effect, until and through the
day preceding the date of publication of the ITC's final determination
in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation and the collection
of cash deposits will resume on the date of publication of the ITC's
final determination in the Federal Register.

of 75-10-5 and the chemical formula CH2 F2. R-32 is also referred to
as difluoromethane, HFC-32, FC-32, Freon-32, methylene difluoride,
methylene fluoride, carbon fluoride hydride, halocarbon R32,
fluorocarbon R32, and UN 3252. Subject merchandise also includes R-
32 and unpurified R-32 that are processed in a third country or the

processing that would not otherwise remove the merchandise from the
scope of this order if performed in the country of manufacture of
the in-scope R-32. R-32 that has been blended with products other
than pentafluoroethane (R-125) is included within this scope if such
blends contain 85% or more by volume on an actual percentage basis
of R-32. In addition, R-32 that has been blended with any amount of
R-125 is included within this scope if such blends contain more than
