Indonesia Solar Firms Penalized for Missing Paperwork
Published Date: 5/27/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce updated its early decision on solar cells from Indonesia, saying one company didn’t cooperate with info requests. Because of this, Commerce is using the strongest penalty rules to figure out unfair pricing. This affects Indonesian solar cell makers and could lead to higher duties starting May 27, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
94.36% Duty Applied to Blue Sky
Commerce determined that PT Blue Sky Solar Indonesia did not cooperate and applied adverse facts available (AFA). Commerce assigned Blue Sky an estimated weighted-average dumping margin of 94.36% for the period July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025, as reflected in the amended preliminary determination published May 27, 2026.
Higher Cash Deposit Requirement Effective May 27
Because the amended preliminary determination increases the cash deposit rate, Commerce revised collection of cash deposits and suspension of liquidation accordingly. The increased cash deposit rate is effective on the date this notice was published in the Federal Register (May 27, 2026) and the suspension of liquidation instructions remain in effect until further notice.
