US suspends solar-cell tariffs after effectiveness review
The US International Trade Commission has cancelled a hearing and evaluated the effectiveness of import relief (tariffs) on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells. Based on the Federal Register notice dated 15 June 2026, the relief measure—originally imposed to protect domestic solar-cell manufacturers—has been found ineffective or its purpose fulfilled, leading to suspension or cancellation of the tariff. This affects all importers of solar cells (HS 8541.40), whether standalone or assembled into modules, laminates, or integrated products.
US adds anti-dumping duties to solar panels from China, Taiwan
The US International Trade Commission has issued final determinations imposing anti-dumping duties on crystalline silicon photovoltaic products from China and Taiwan, effective immediately. The decision affects imports of solar panels and related components classified under specific HS chapters. Importers must recalculate landed costs and verify supplier eligibility to avoid retroactive assessments.
US anti-dumping probe on Indonesian solar cells advances to preliminary finding
The U.S. Department of Commerce has amended its preliminary determination in an anti-dumping investigation of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells from Indonesia, finding that it must apply adverse facts available (AFA) due to insufficient cooperation or data. The investigation covers the period July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025, and applies to solar cells whether assembled into modules or not. This amended preliminary affirmative determination of less-than-fair-value (LTFV) sales means provisional duties are likely forthcoming, and final determinations will follow.
Commerce amends Laos solar-cell dumping determination
The U.S. Department of Commerce has amended its preliminary affirmative less-than-fair-value (LTFV) determination in an anti-dumping investigation of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells from Laos, correcting what it describes as significant ministerial errors. The investigation covers the period January 1–June 30, 2025. This amendment affects importers of solar cells and assembled modules from Laos, who may face revised dumping margins and corresponding tariff exposure depending on the final determination.
WTO panel sought on India's solar and IT import restrictions
China has formally requested a WTO dispute panel to challenge Indian measures affecting imports of solar cells, solar modules, and information technology goods. The case was tabled at the 22 May 2026 Dispute Settlement Body meeting. If the panel proceeds, it could address whether India's import restrictions violate WTO commitments and affect the tariff treatment and landed costs for solar and IT shipments into India.
