Taiwan Solar Panels Dodge Extra Duties in Routine Review
Published Date: 5/12/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce checked if solar products from Taiwan were being sold too cheaply in the U.S. from Feb 2024 to Jan 2025 and found they were not. This means no extra taxes (antidumping duties) will be added for now. Companies involved, especially EEPV Corp., can share their thoughts before the final decision.

Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
EEPV Gets 0.00% Preliminary Dumping Margin
The Department of Commerce preliminarily found that EEPV Corp.'s solar products from Taiwan had a weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00 percent for February 1, 2024 through January 31, 2025. That means, for now, no antidumping duties will be added for EEPV's entries covering that period while the review continues.
Zero or De Minimis Margin Means No Duties
If a respondent's final weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis (less than 0.50 percent), Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to liquidate the relevant entries without regard to antidumping duties. Also, if the final rate is less than 0.50 percent, the cash deposit rate for future entries will be zero.
All-Others Rate Remains 19.50%
For exporters or manufacturers not covered by this review or a prior segment, Commerce will continue to apply the all-others cash deposit rate of 19.50 percent established in the original investigation. That rate applies to shipments entered for consumption on or after publication of the final results when no other company-specific rate applies.
Automatic Assessment for Unknown-Destination Sales
Commerce's automatic assessment practice will apply where reviewed companies sold products to intermediaries (resellers, trading companies, exporters) that did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States. In such cases, if no rate exists for the intermediate company, CBP will be instructed to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate.
Importers Must Certify Reimbursement Or Face Double Duties
Importers are reminded they must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries for this review period. Failure to file the certificate could lead Commerce to presume reimbursement occurred and result in assessment of double antidumping duties.
