American HFC Coalition calls for stricter enforcement of U.S. laws
The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has decided that U.S. industry is being materially injured by imports of refrigerant R-134a from China that are being “dumped” in the U.S. The USITC’s affirmative determination paves the way for the U.S Department of Commerce to issue an anti-dumping duty order.
The decision follows a year-long investigation by the Commerce Department, which found that imports of R-134a from China were being dumped in the U.S. market at prices below fair value. In February the U.S. Department of Commerce prescribed anti-dumping duties ranging from 148.79% to 167.02%.
