The Department of Commerce has determined that the chemical difluoromethane (R-32) from China is being sold in the U.S. at unfairly low prices. The investigation covered sales from mid-2019 to the end of that year. As a result, certain Chinese companies face high duties on their products when they enter the U.S. The department will continue to monitor and instruct customs officials to impose cash deposits based on calculated dumping margins until further notice.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Commerce found that a chemical from China was being sold too cheaply in the U.S., so they are putting extra duties on it to make the prices fairer. They will keep checking to make sure this doesn't happen again.
