Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, From Malaysia: Amended Preliminary Determination of Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigation
Published Date: 1/6/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce fixed some important math mistakes in its early decision about solar cells from Malaysia. This change affects companies like Jinko Solar and could change the extra fees they might have to pay for selling solar cells in the U.S. These updates started on January 6, 2025, so businesses should pay close attention to the new numbers and deadlines.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Revised Duty Rates for Malaysian Solar Cells
The Department of Commerce amended its preliminary dumping margins for crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells from Malaysia. The amended table sets Hanwha Q Cells Malaysia at 0.00% (cash deposit 0.00%), Jinko Solar Technology Sdn. Bhd. at a 9.90% cash deposit rate and a 6.43% weighted-average dumping margin, several producers at 81.24% (based on adverse facts available), and “All Others” at 9.90% cash deposit / 6.43% weighted-average. These amended margins were published January 6, 2025 and correct significant ministerial errors in the original preliminary determination.
Retroactive Cash Deposit Change and Refunds
Commerce revised the collection of cash deposits and suspension of liquidation to reflect the amended preliminary rates, and those amended rates are effective retroactively to December 4, 2024 (the date of the original Preliminary Determination). U.S. Customs and Border Protection will be instructed to provide refunds of the difference between cash deposits already paid under the Preliminary Determination rates and the amounts due under the amended rates.
