Although final determinations in the antidumping/countervailing duties (AD/CVD) investigation related to silicon solar cells and panels from Southeast Asia are not expected until later this spring, the U.S. Dept. of Commerce has tinkered with its suggested tariff amounts that were first unveiled in its preliminary decisions last year.
Commerce was required by law to issue its initial preliminary determinations for the CVD investigation in October and the AD investigation in November. In some cases, Commerce had little available data with which to make its determinations; in others, The American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee found calculation errors.
