Notice
Summary
The U.S. says Vietnam’s solar cell makers got unfair government help, so it’s adding extra fees to their products to keep things fair. This affects companies importing these solar cells from Vietnam starting now and could change prices for buyers. The goal? Protect U.S. solar businesses and keep the market balanced.
Analyzed Economic Effects

Countervailing Duties on Vietnamese Solar Cells
If you import crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells (including those assembled into modules) from Vietnam, the U.S. Department of Commerce determined that producers and exporters received countervailable subsidies for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. Commerce issued a final affirmative countervailing duty determination for these imports, which means those imports may be subject to additional countervailing duties.
Critical Circumstances Finding, In Part
Commerce also issued a final affirmative critical circumstances determination, in part, related to crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells from Vietnam. This is an additional trade remedy finding announced alongside the countervailing duty determination.
