Commerce Keeps Antidumping Duties on Chinese Refrigerant Chemical

## Summary

The U.S. Department of Commerce finished reviewing imports of a chemical called R-134a from China for 2024-2025. They decided that Zhejiang Sanmei and 23 other companies won’t get special treatment and will be treated as part of a bigger China-wide group for duties. This means importers might face consistent antidumping duties starting June 22, 2026, keeping trade fair and prices steady.

## Abstract

The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that Zhejiang Sanmei Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. Jiangsu Sanmei Chemicals Co., Ltd.; and Fujian Qingliu Dongying Chemical Ind. Co. Ltd (collectively, Sanmei), the only mandatory respondent in this administrative review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane (R-134a) from the People's Republic of China (China) covering the period of review (POR), April 1, 2024, through March 31, 2025, and 23 additional companies under review are not eligible to receive a separate rate and are, therefore, determined to be part of the China-wide entity.
