Overview

• The U.S. Department of Commerce has proposed anti-dumping and countervailing duties as high as 3,521% on solar imports from Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia.
• The investigation found that manufacturers in these countries benefited from Chinese subsidies and sold products below production costs, harming U.S. solar manufacturers.
• Cambodia faces the steepest tariffs after halting cooperation with the probe, while other countries have varying rates depending on company participation.
• The proposed tariffs, impacting 77% of U.S. solar module imports, aim to bolster domestic manufacturing but may increase costs for solar developers.
• A final decision on the tariffs will be made by the U.S. International Trade Commission in early June, determining their implementation.
