Final Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review and Final 

Determination of No Shipments; 2021–

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) determines that 

1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane (R–134a) from 

the People’s Republic of China (China) 

was sold in the United States at less 

than normal value during the period of 

review (POR), April 1, 2021, through 

March 31, 2022. In addition, Commerce 

determines that certain companies had 

no shipments during the POR or did not 

establish their eligibility for a separate 

rate. 

DATES: Applicable September 5, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 3, 2023, Commerce published 

the Preliminary Results of this review in 

the Federal Register and invited 

interested parties to comment on those 

results.1 For a summary of the events 

that occurred since the Preliminary 

Results, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.2 Commerce conducted 

this administrative review in 

accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act). 

Scope of the Order 3

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is R–134a from China. For a 

complete description of the scope, see 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs are addressed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. A 

list of the issues that parties raised and 

to which we responded in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum is attached 

at Appendix to this notice. The Issues 

and Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at https://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Final Determination of No Shipments 

In the Preliminary Results, we 

preliminarily found that T.T. 

International Co., Ltd. (TTI) had no 

shipments of subject merchandise 

during the POR. Following the 

publication of the Preliminary Results, 

we received no comments from 

interested parties regarding TTI, nor has 

any party submitted record evidence 

which would call our preliminary 

determination of no shipments into 

question. Therefore, for the final results, 

we continue to find that TTI had no 

shipments of subject merchandise 

during the POR. Accordingly, we will 

issue appropriate instructions that are 

consistent with our ‘‘automatic 

assessment’’ clarification for TTI.4

The China-Wide Entity 

Aside from the company for which we 

made a final no-shipment 

determination, Commerce considers all 

other companies for which a review was 

requested, and which did not 

demonstrate separate rate eligibility, to 

be part of the China-wide entity. 

Specifically, because Zhejiang Quhua 

Fluor-Chemistry Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang 

Quhua) did not establish its eligibility 

for a separate rate in this administrative 

review, we consider Zhejiang Quhua to 

be part of the China-wide entity. 

Because no party requested a review of 

the China-wide entity, and Commerce 

no longer considers the China-wide 

entity as an exporter conditionally 

subject to administrative reviews,5 we 

did not conduct a review of the Chinawide entity. Thus, the weighted-average 

dumping margin for the China-wide 

entity rate (i.e., 167.02 percent) is not 

subject to change.6

Final Results of Review 

Commerce determines that the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margin exists for the period April 1, 

2021, through March 31, 2022:

Weighted-average 

dumping margin

Disclosure 

There are no calculations to disclose 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b) 

for these final results. 

Assessment Rate 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1), where the respondent 

reported the entered value of its U.S. 

sales, we calculated importer-specific 

antidumping duty assessment rates by 

aggregating the total amount of dumping 

calculated for the examined sales of 

each importer and dividing each of 

these amounts by the total entered value 

associated with those sales. Where the 

respondent did not report entered value, 

we calculated the entered value in order 

to calculate the assessment rate. Where 

either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. 

For the company identified as part of 

the China-wide entity (Zhejiang Quhua), 

we will instruct CBP to apply an ad 

valorem assessment rate of 167.02 

percent to all POR entries of subject 

merchandise which was exported by 

this company. Pursuant to a refinement 

in our non-market economy practice, for 

sales that were not reported in the U.S. 

sales data submitted by Zhejiang 

Sanmei Chemical Ind. Co., Ltd. during 

this review, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate entries associated with those 

sales at the rate for the China-wide 

entity.7 Furthermore, where we found 

that an exporter under review had no 

shipments of the subject merchandise, 

any suspended entries that entered 

under that exporter’s case number (i.e., 

at that exporter’s cash deposit rate) will 

be liquidated at the rate for the Chinawide entity.8

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. 

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 for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the final results of 

this administrative review, as provided 

by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the 

cash deposit rates for the companies 

identified above in the ‘‘Final Results of 

Review’’ section will be equal to the 

company-specific weighted-average 

dumping margin established in the final 

results of this administrative review; (2) 

for previously examined China and nonChina exporters not listed above that 

have separate rates, the cash deposit rate 

will continue to be the exporter-specific 

rate published for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding; 

(3) for all China exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not been found 

to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate for the 

China-wide entity (i.e., 167.02 percent); 

and (4) for all non-China exporters of 

subject merchandise which have not 

received their own separate rate, the 

cash deposit rate will be the rate 

applicable to the China exporter that 

supplied that non-China exporter. These 

cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final 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 POR. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in 

Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

has occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 

which continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return or destruction 

of APO materials, or conversion to 

judicial protective order, is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with the 

regulations and the terms of an APO is 

a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(5) and 19 CFR 

351.213(h)(1).
