Scope text

Legally operative description of covered merchandise from the Federal Register

The merchandise covered by these orders 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 Fc-125. R-125 contained in blends that do not conform to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 34 is included in the scope of these orders when R-125 constitutes the largest relative component by volume, on an actual percentage basis, of the blend. However, R-125 incorporated into a blend that conforms to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 34 is excluded from the scope of these orders. When R-125 is blended with other products and otherwise falls under the scope of these orders, only the R-125 component of the mixture is covered by the scope of these orders. Subject merchandise also includes purified 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, blending, or any other processing that would not otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of the orders 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 these orders. Only the subject component of such commingled products is covered by the scope of these orders. Excluded from the scope is merchandise covered by the scope of the antidumping order on Hydrofluorocarbon Blends from the People's Republic of China, including merchandise subject to the affirmative anti-circumvention determination in Hydrofluorocarbon Blends from the People's Republic of China: Affirmative Final Determination of Circumvention of the Antidumping Duty Order; Unfinished R-32/R-125 Blends, 85 FR 15428 (March 18, 2020). See Hydrofluorocarbon Blends from the People's Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order, 81 FR 55436 (August 19, 2016) (the Blends Order).

Frequently asked questions

What is AD/CVD case C-570-138?

C-570-138 is a U.S. countervailing duty (CVD) order on pentafluoroethane (r-125) from China, issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce. It is part of the trade-remedy regime that levies cash deposits at entry on imports found to be sold below fair value (AD) or to benefit from foreign government subsidies (CVD).

What is the deposit rate for C-570-138?

The country-wide cash deposit rate for C-570-138 is 14.43%. This rate applies to importers of non-listed manufacturers/exporters from China. Individual exporters and producers may have lower (or higher) case-specific rates from Commerce administrative reviews — see the manufacturer rates linked from this page where available.

When did C-570-138 take effect, and is it still active?

C-570-138 took effect on March 3, 2022 and is currently in active status — cash deposits apply at entry on every shipment in scope.

How do I check if my shipment falls within the scope of C-570-138?

Two factors determine scope: (1) the product's HTS code(s) and physical characteristics — covered codes are listed on this page (3 flagged); and (2) the product's country of origin — this order applies to imports from China. The order's scope text — also on this page — is the legally binding description. When borderline cases arise, importers can request a formal scope ruling from Commerce. Tandom's lookup tool matches your HTS + origin against every active order in seconds.

What HTS codes are covered by C-570-138?

C-570-138 flags 3 HTS codes in Tandom's catalog. The full list is shown on this page. HTS coverage alone does not guarantee scope — physical-characteristic exclusions in the scope text may carve out specific products.

Where is the official Federal Register notice for C-570-138?

The official Federal Register citation for C-570-138 is 2022-04505. The link is on this page; clicking it opens the canonical FR document on federalregister.gov, which carries the legally operative text — scope, rates, exclusions, and effective dates.

What is the companion case for C-570-138?

C-570-138 has a companion case at A-570-137. AD orders frequently run alongside a CVD order on the same product/country (or vice versa). Both deposits stack on top of base duties — importers pay the full sum of both rates at entry where both orders apply.
