DGTR recommends five-year dumping duty on HFC blends from China

The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has recommended extending anti-dumping duties on Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) blends from China for another five years, proposing tariffs ranging between $1,553.45 and $2,250.56 per metric tonne. This measure targets R-407 and R-410 refrigerant blends following a sunset review that indicated a threat of continued material injury to domestic producers. The sunset review was initiated following an application by domestic market leader SRF Limited, aiming to safeguard the local chemical industry from underpriced imports.
