The American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee sent a letter to the U.S. International Trade Commission urging the agency to make a final determination on anti-dumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) tariffs by June 2 to ensure tariffs are in effect before a window of duty-free imports opens.
The letter warned that “significant quantities” of solar cells and modules are “being held in bonded warehouses or otherwise prepared to enter the United States” duty-free.
Solar products shipped from Vietnam, Malaysia, Cambodia and Vietnam, four nations responsible for as much as 80% of U.S. solar module supply, are currently subject to tariffs under a preliminary finding of AD/CVD violation. The preliminary tariff rates went into effect on December 4, 2024 and apply until June 1, 2025.
