The International Trade Commission has announced the start of an investigation into whether imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam are damaging the U.S. industry. These products are suspected of being sold at unfairly low prices and receiving subsidies from their respective governments. The preliminary investigations are set to determine if there is material injury or a threat thereof to the U.S. industry, with an initial ruling expected by June 10, 2024, unless extended. Public participation is encouraged, and meetings and written submissions are scheduled as part of the investigation process.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has preliminarily determined that crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells from Malaysia are being sold in the U.S. at prices lower than their fair value. This investigation covers the period from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024. As a result, the Commerce Department plans to implement duties on these imports to counteract the underpricing, although some products, such as those produced by Hanwha Q Cells, might be exempt from these measures due to their zero dumping margin. The public and interested parties are invited to submit comments on this preliminary decision.

The U.S. Department of Commerce announced a preliminary decision that solar cells from Thailand are being sold in the U.S. for less than their fair value, which could be unfair to American businesses. The investigation covers a one-year period starting from April 1, 2023. The Department found that there are critical circumstances in the case, meaning extra rules apply to the importers involved. Public comments are being invited on this preliminary finding, and a final decision is postponed to a later date.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has announced preliminary findings in the review of antidumping duties on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells from China for the period of December 1, 2022, to November 30, 2023. The review found that certain companies sold these products at prices below normal value, and one company didn't qualify for a separate rate, leading to a decision to rescind the review for some companies and determine no shipments for others. The department invites public comments and plans to finalize the results by reviewing briefs from interested parties, with cash deposit requirements set to change accordingly following publication of the final review results.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has finalized changes to the rules aimed at Hanwha Q CELLS Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., related to the trade of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells from China. These changes allow new wafer suppliers, identified by Hanwha, to be included in trade certifications. This decision means that solar cells or modules from Malaysia that entered the U.S. since May 6, 2024, can be considered under these altered certification standards, allowing Hanwha to avoid penalties related to previous antidumping and countervailing duty orders. The amendments intend to adjust the trade certifications to better reflect the supply chain complexities in producing these solar cells.
