Background
On August 19, 2016, Commerce
published in the Federal Register an AD
order on HFC blends from China.1 On
August 2, 2021, Commerce published a
notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the Order for
the POR.2 On August 31, 2021,
Commerce received timely requests to
conduct an administrative review of the
Order, in accordance with section
751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), from the American
HFC Coalition (petitioner) and Sanmei.3
Based on these requests, Commerce
initiated an administrative review of the
Order with respect to 43 companies on
October 7, 2021.4 On October 14, 2021,
consistent with the Initiation Notice,
Commerce released U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) data for
purposes of respondent selection and
provided interested parties an
opportunity to comment on these data
by October 21, 2021.5 Commerce
received comments on the CBP Data
from the petitioner and Sanmei.6 On
October 28, 2021, three companies
submitted certifications of no
shipments.7 The deadline for companies
to submit an separate rate application
(SRA) or separate rate certification
(SRC) was November 8, 2021.8 On
November 8, 2021, Sanmei submitted an
SRA.9

consisting of 52 percent 1,1,1Trifluoroethane, 44 percent
Pentafluoroethane, and 4 percent
1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane; R–407A, a
zeotropic mixture of 20 percent
Difluoromethane, 40 percent
Pentafluoroethane, and 40 percent
1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane; R–407C, a
zeotropic mixture of 23 percent
Difluoromethane, 25 percent
Pentafluoroethane, and 52 percent
1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane; R–410A, a

Pentafluoroethane and 50 percent 1,1,1Trifluoroethane also known as R–507.
The foregoing percentages are nominal
percentages by weight. Actual
percentages of single component
refrigerants by weight may vary by plus
or minus two percent points from the
nominal percentage identified above.13
Any blend that includes an HFC
component other than R–32, R–125, R–
143a, or R–134a is excluded from the
scope of the Order.
Excluded from the Order are blends of
refrigerant chemicals that include

the Order are currently classified in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) at subheadings
3824.78.0020 and 3824.78.0050.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope is dispositive.14
Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
Commerce’s practice is to conduct
administrative reviews only on
suspended entries of subject
merchandise.15 Based on information
Commerce received from Enforcement
and Compliance’s Customs and Liaison
Unit,16 as well as information submitted
by Sanmei’s U.S. importer (Company
A), we preliminarily determine that
Sanmei had no shipments of the subject
merchandise during the POR because
there are no suspended entries during
the POR.17 Likewise, based on the CBP
Data and the No-Shipment Statements,
we preliminarily determine that Huantai
14 See the Order. Certain merchandise has been
the subject of affirmative anti-circumvention
determinations by Commerce, pursuant to section
781 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
As a result, the circumventing merchandise is
included in the scope of the Order. See

Dongyue, Shandong Dongyue, and
Zhejiang Yonghe had no shipments of
the subject merchandise during the
POR.
Consistent with Commerce’s practice,
we will not rescind the review with
respect to Sanmei, Huantai Dongyue,
Shandong Dongyue, and Zhejiang
Yonghe, but, rather, will complete the
review and issue appropriate
liquidation instructions to CBP based on
the final results.18

China-Wide Entity
In accordance with Commerce’s
policy, the China-wide entity will not be
under review unless a party specifically
requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a
review of the entity.4 Because no party
requested a review of the China-wide
entity in this review, the entity is not
under review, and the entity’s rate is not
subject to change (i.e., 216.37 percent).19
Aside from Sanmei, Huantai Dongyue,
Shandong Dongyue, and Zhejiang
Yonghe, which we preliminarily find
made no shipments, Commerce
considers all other companies for which
a review was requested to be part of the
China-wide entity because they did not
demonstrate their separate rate
eligibility.20 Accordingly, for the
preliminary results, we consider the
following non-responsive parties, none
of which submitted a separate rate
application, to be part of the China-wide

time for parties to file a request for a
statutory injunction has expired (i.e.,
within 90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
review for shipments of the subject
merchandise from China entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided by sections
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for previously
investigated or reviewed Chinese or
non-Chinese exporters not listed above
that received a separate rate in a prior
segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
existing exporter-specific rate; (2) for all
Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found
to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be that for the Chinawide entity (i.e., 216.37 percent); and (3)
for all non-Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the Chinese
exporter that supplied that non-Chinese
exporter. These deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any blend that includes an HFC component other than R-32, R-125, R-
143a, or R-134a is excluded from the scope of the Order.
Excluded from the Order are blends of refrigerant chemicals that
include products other than HFCs, such as blends including
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs),
hydrocarbons (HCs), or hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs).
Also excluded from the Order are patented HFC blends, including,
but not limited to, ISCEON[supreg] blends, including MO99TM (R-438A),
MO79 (R-422A), MO59 (R-417A), MO49PlusTM (R-437A) and MO29TM (R-4 22D),
Genetron[supreg] PerformaxTM LT (R-407F), Choice[supreg] R-421A, and

HFC blends covered by the scope of the Order are currently
classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) at subheadings 3824.78.0020 and 3824.78.0050. Although the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes,
the written description of the scope is dispositive.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See the Order. Certain merchandise has been the subject of
affirmative anti-circumvention determinations by Commerce, pursuant
to section 781 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As a
result, the circumventing merchandise is included in the scope of
the Order. See Hydrofluorocarbon Blends from the People's Republic
of China: Final Negative Scope Ruling on Gujarat Fluorochemicals

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
Commerce's practice is to conduct administrative reviews only on
suspended entries of subject merchandise.\15\ Based on information
Commerce received from Enforcement and Compliance's Customs and Liaison
Unit,\16\ as well as information submitted by Sanmei's U.S. importer
(Company A), we preliminarily determine that Sanmei had no shipments of
the subject merchandise during the POR because there are no suspended
entries during the POR.\17\ Likewise, based on the CBP Data and the No-
Shipment Statements, we preliminarily determine that Huantai
[[Page 54194]]
Dongyue, Shandong Dongyue, and Zhejiang Yonghe had no shipments of the
subject merchandise during the POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Information,'' dated June 24, 2022.
\17\ See Memorandum, ``Business Proprietary Information (BPI)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consistent with Commerce's practice, we will not rescind the review
with respect to Sanmei, Huantai Dongyue, Shandong Dongyue, and Zhejiang
Yonghe, but, rather, will complete the review and issue appropriate
liquidation instructions to CBP based on the final results.\18\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
China-Wide Entity
In accordance with Commerce's policy, the China-wide entity will
not be under review unless a party specifically requests, or Commerce
self-initiates, a review of the entity.\4\ Because no party requested a
review of the China-wide entity in this review, the entity is not under
review, and the entity's rate is not subject to change (i.e., 216.37
percent).\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ See Order, 81 FR at 55438.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aside from Sanmei, Huantai Dongyue, Shandong Dongyue, and Zhejiang
Yonghe, which we preliminarily find made no shipments, Commerce
considers all other companies for which a review was requested to be
part of the China-wide entity because they did not demonstrate their
separate rate eligibility.\20\ Accordingly, for the preliminary
results, we consider the following non-responsive parties, none of
which submitted a separate rate application, to be part of the China-
wide entity: Changshu 3F Zhonghao New Chemical Materials Co., Ltd.;
Daikin Fluorochemicals (China) Co., Ltd.; Dongyang Weihua Refrigerants

Assessment
Upon issuance of the final results of the administrative review,
Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries covered by this review.\28\ For the companies
which Commerce determined had no shipments of the subject merchandise
during the POR, any suspended entries of subject merchandise that
entered under any of these exporters' CBP case numbers during the POR
will be liquidated at the China-wide rate.\29\ In accordance with
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, the final results of this review shall
be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by the final results of this review and for future
deposits of estimated antidumping duties, where applicable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\28\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\29\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the
U.S.
[[Page 54195]]
Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct
CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to
file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90
days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this review for shipments of the
subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by
sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for previously investigated or
reviewed Chinese or non-Chinese exporters not listed above that
received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific
rate; (2) for all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have
not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate
will be that for the China-wide entity (i.e., 216.37 percent); and (3)
for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have not
received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese
exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in
effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d).
Dated: August 26, 2022.
