The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) announced the cancellation of a scheduled public hearing related to the anti-dumping duty investigation on Difluoromethane (R-32) from China. The hearing was initially set for January 14, 2021, but was canceled after the only party requesting to appear at the hearing withdrew their request. This investigation, conducted under the authority of the Tariff Act of 1930, will proceed with parties submitting written responses instead. Written posthearing briefs must be submitted by January 21, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The people in charge of trade between countries were going to have a meeting to talk about prices for something called "Difluoromethane" from China, but they canceled it because the only person who wanted to come decided not to anymore. Now, everyone will just send letters instead of having a chat.
