Core Purpose

The Central Government amends Notification No. 75/2021-Customs (ADD) dated 21st December, 2021, to change the name of the exporter 'Shandong Dongyue Chemical Co. Ltd' to 'Shandong Dongyue Refrigerants Co. Ltd' for anti-dumping duty purposes on Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) Component R-32.

Detailed Summary

This notification, issued by the Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue) as No. 23/2025-Customs (ADD) and G.S.R. 470(E) on 15th July, 2025, amends a previous anti-dumping duty notification. Previously, definitive anti-dumping duty was imposed on "Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) Component R-32" originating in or exported from China PR, falling under tariff sub-heading 2903 39 of the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 (51 of 1975). This duty was based on the designated authority's final findings (Notification number 6/33/2020-DGTR, dated 23rd September, 2021), which concluded dumping, material injury to the domestic industry, and a causal link. The Central Government had imposed this duty via Notification No. 75/2021-Customs (ADD), dated 21st December, 2021 (G.S.R. 874(E)). Subsequently, Shandong Dongyue Chemical Co. Ltd. requested a name change to "Shandong Dongyue Refrigerants Co. Ltd" in the designated authority's final findings. The designated authority, through amendment notification number 7/16/2024-DGTR, dated 3rd April, 2025, concluded this was a mere name change without altering the basic nature of business and recommended the amendment. Exercising powers conferred by sub-sections (1) and (5) of section 9A of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, read with rules 18 and 20 of the Customs Tariff (Identification, Assessment and Collection of Anti-dumping Duty on Dumped Articles and for Determination of Injury) Rules, 1995, the Central Government now substitutes "Shandong Dongyue Chemical Co. Ltd" with "Shandong Dongyue Refrigerants Co. Ltd" in column (6) against serial number 1 in the Table of Notification No. 75/2021-Customs (ADD).
