investigation is pentafluoroethane (R–125), or 

its chemical equivalent, regardless of form, 

type or purity level. R–125 has the Chemical 

Abstracts Service (CAS) registry number of 

354–33–6 and the chemical formula C2HF5. 

R–125 is also referred to as 

Pentafluoroethane, Genetron HFC 125, 

Khladon 125, Suva 125, Freon 125, and Fc125. Subject merchandise includes R–125,

and unpurified R–125 that is processed in a 

third country or otherwise outside the 

customs territory of the United States, 

including, but not limited to, purifying,

not otherwise remove the merchandise from 

the scope of this investigation if performed 

in the country of manufacture of the in-scope 

R–125. The scope also includes R–125 that is 

commingled with R–125 from sources not 

subject to this investigation. Only the subject 

component of such commingled products is 

covered by the scope of this investigation.

merchandise covered by the scope of the 

antidumping order on Hydrofluorocarbon 

Blends from the People’s Republic of China.

351.210(b)(2) provide that a final 

determination may be postponed until 

not later than 135 days after the date of
