Taiwan Solar Panels Dodge Dumping Duties in Latest Review
Published Date: 2/24/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce reviewed solar panel products from Taiwan made by EEPV Corp. and found they didn’t sell them for less than fair value from February 2023 to January 2024. This means no extra duties will be charged on their imports during this time. The final decision took a bit longer due to government delays but is now official as of February 24, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
EEPV Imports Not Assessed Duties
Commerce found that EEPV Corp. did not sell certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic products from Taiwan at less than fair value for the period February 1, 2023 through January 31, 2024, and assigned a weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00 percent. This means entries covered by this review for that period will be liquidated without antidumping duties for EEPV-related shipments.
Zero Cash Deposit Rate for EEPV Shipments
The cash deposit rate for EEPV will be zero for shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results (February 24, 2026). This affects importers bringing in EEPV-produced solar panels after that date by removing cash-deposit holdbacks tied to antidumping duties for EEPV.
Unreviewed Entries May Face 19.50% Duty
Commerce states its automatic-assessment practice will apply to entries of subject merchandise produced by EEPV for which EEPV did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States; in such cases, CBP will be instructed to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate of 19.50 percent if there is no rate for the intermediate company. Importers of such unreviewed entries could face assessment at 19.50 percent.
Importers Must Certify Reimbursement Risk
Importers are reminded of their obligation under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries for this review period; failure to file could lead Commerce to presume reimbursement occurred and result in assessment of double antidumping duties.
