SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 6, 2023, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results.1 On 

June 30, 2023, we extended the deadline 

for these final results to October 3,

events that occurred subsequent to the 

Preliminary Results, see the Issues and

conducted this review in accordance 

with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 4

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is difluoromethane (R–32), or its

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on a review of the record and 

comments received from interested 

parties regarding the Preliminary 

Results, we made certain changes to the 

margin calculations for Qingsong.6

Partial Rescission 

In the Preliminary Results, we 

notified parties of our intent to rescind 

this administrative review for Zhejiang 

Sanmei because it did not have any 

reviewable entries during the POR.7

Because we continue to find that the 

record does not contain any evidence of 

reviewable entries for Zhejiang Sanmei, 

we are rescinding this review with 

respect to Zhejiang Sanmei in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). 

Final Results of Review 

As a result of this review, we are 

assigning the following dumping margin 

to the respondent for the period August 

27, 2020, through February 28, 2022: 

Exporter 

Dumping 

margin

Assessment Rates 

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

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Pursuant to Commerce’s assessment 

practice,8 for entries that were not 

reported in the U.S. sales data submitted 

by Qingsong, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such entries at the China-wide 

rate. For Zhejiang Sanmei, the 

respondent for which we are rescinding 

the administrative review, antidumping 

duties shall be assessed at rates equal to 

the cash deposit of estimated 

antidumping duties required at the time 

of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, 

for consumption, during the POR, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(c)(1)(i). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of 

administrative review for all shipments 

of subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on, or after, the 

publication date of the final results of 

review, as provided for by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash 

deposit rate for Qingsong will be equal 

to the dumping margin established in 

the final results of this review; (2) for a 

previously investigated or reviewed 

exporter of subject merchandise not 

listed in the final results of review that 

has a separate rate, the cash deposit rate 

will continue to be the exporter’s 

existing cash deposit rate; (3) for all 

Chinese exporters of subject 

merchandise that do not have a separate 

rate, the cash deposit rate will be the 

cash deposit rate established for the 

China-wide entity, 221.06 percent; 9 and 

(4) for all exporters of subject 

merchandise that are not located in 

China and that are not eligible for a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the rate applicable to the China 

exporter(s) that supplied that nonChinese exporter. These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also 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 occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice also serves as the final 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of return/ 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results of administrative review 

and notice in accordance with sections 

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

CFR 351.221(b)(5).
