It’s official: High tariffs initiated on solar cells and panels from Southeast Asia
The U.S. International Trade Commission has made an affirmative determination in its antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) investigation concerning silicon solar cells and panels from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.
The affirmative final decision from the ITC that the U.S. industry has been harmed by imports from Southeast Asia means that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) can begin collecting duties on product in less than a month. The Dept. of Commerce released its final tariff calculations last month. Tariffs on imports from Cambodia range from 650% to 3,500%; Malaysian tariffs range from 14% to 250%; Thai tariffs range from 375% to 972%; and Vietnamese tariffs range from 120% to 813%.
