U.S. Fixes Solar Cell Tariffs, Sparing One Malaysian Firm
Published Date: 7/7/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. fixed some important details about tariffs on solar cells from Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Thailand. They added a missing appendix for Vietnam and clarified that Hanwha Q Cells Malaysia is excluded from certain duties. These changes make sure the rules are clear and fair for companies starting now.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Vietnam scope appendix added
If your company imports crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Commerce corrected its June 24, 2025 notice to add the previously omitted separate scope Appendix applicable to the Vietnam antidumping order. This clarifies which Vietnam-origin products are covered by that antidumping order.
Hanwha Q Cells Malaysia exclusion clarified
If you are Hanwha Q Cells Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. or do business with that company, Commerce corrected its June 24, 2025 notice to add exclusion language showing Hanwha Q Cells Malaysia is excluded from certain duties under the Malaysia antidumping order. The correction confirms that those duties do not apply to that named respondent.
