USA Finalises High Duties on Solar Imports from India, Indonesia and Laos
USA: The US Commerce Department has finalised steep anti-dumping and countervailing duties on solar cells and panels imported from India, Indonesia and Laos, citing unfair pricing and government subsidies. Anti-dumping duties were set at 123.04% for Indian producers, 94.36% for Indonesian producers and 65.43% for Lao producers, while countervailing duties vary by producer and country. The investigation was initiated by the Alliance for American Solar Manufacturing and Trade, representing major US manufacturers including First Solar, Hanwha Qcells and Mission Solar Energy. The US International Trade Commission is expected to issue its final injury determination on October 14, with potential duty orders following in November.
