The Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue), through Notification No. 36/2025-Customs (ADD) (G.S.R. 919(E)) dated December 24, 2025, imposed anti-dumping duty on imports of '1,1,1,2- Tetrafluoroethane or R-134a', falling under tariff item 2903 45 00 of the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 (51 of 1975), originating in or exported from China PR.

The anti-dumping duty is calculated as the difference between the landed value and specified reference amounts (in USD per MT) for various producers from China PR, applicable only if the landed value is less than the reference value. Specific reference amounts range from 4423 USD/MT for The Sinochem Environmental Protection Chemicals (TAICANG) Co. Ltd. to 5251 USD/MT for any producer other than those specifically listed or any producer when exported from China PR but originating from any other country. The duty will be levied for five years from the notification's publication date and is payable in Indian currency, with the exchange rate determined by the Ministry of Finance under section 14 of the Customs Act, 1962, based on the date of bill of entry presentation.
