U.S. trade officials on Friday said a months-long investigation had found that certain Chinese solar panel makers were dodging tariffs by finishing their products in four Southeast Asian countries.
Those companies and others will face the same duty rates the United States already assesses on their Chinese-made products, officials said. The United States has had tariffs in place on Chinese solar cells and panels for a decade.
Auxin Solar, a small U.S. solar panel maker, requested the Commerce investigation in February. It was the latest in a string of efforts by U.S. solar panel producers to stem the flow of cheap Asian goods that they argue make their products uncompetitive. "Commerce's investigations have largely validated and confirmed Auxin's allegations of Chinese cheating," Auxin Chief Executive Mamun Rashid said in a statement.and Boviet Solar were found not to be dodging the tariffs, Commerce said."The only good news here is that Commerce didn't target all imports from the subject countries," Abigail Ross Hopper, president of solar trade group the Solar Energy Industries Association, said in an emailed statement.
The levies will not take effect for two years thanks to a moratorium imposed by President Joe Biden earlier this year after solar companies said the mere threat of tariffs was freezing projects nationwide.Reporting by Nichola Groom and David Shepardson; Editing by Andrea Ricci
