The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells from Cambodia, also known as solar cells, are being sold in the United States at prices lower than their fair value. This investigation took place over a year, from April 2023 to March 2024. As a result, the Department will continue to require a cash deposit for estimated antidumping duties on these imports and has determined a dumping margin rate of 125.37% for companies not individually examined. The U.S. International Trade Commission will soon decide if these imports harm the domestic industry, which could lead to further import duties.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Cambodia is selling solar cells in the U.S. for super cheap, making it unfair to local businesses. So, they are making people pay extra money when bringing these cells into the U.S. to make it fairer.
