According to the United States government, certain Chinese producers have been circumventing US import duties by exporting solar energy equipment from Southeast Asian countries to the US. New steep import tariffs are scheduled to be imposed on these companies in June 2024.
When the presidential moratorium on new solar tariffs on imports from Southeast Asia expires next June , imports of solar cells and modules from these five companies will be subject to the tariffs faced by Chinese solar manufacturers, with the tariff level ranging from 50 percent to 250 percent of the import value.
This tariff declined 5% each year to reach 15% by 2021. In 2022, the solar tariffs were extended, decreasing 0.25% annually to reach 14% by 2026 (U.S. President 2022). The tariff excluded solar products from Canada and Mexico. Tariffs on Chinese solar cells increased from 25% to 50% in 2024 (The White House 2024).
The International Trade Commission concluded unanimously that U.S. manufacturers have been “materially injured” by imported solar cells and panels from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. The commission’s finding clears the way for the Commerce Department to issue the trade penalties.
