Tariffs on Chinese Solar Products to Remain in Place
Published Date: 6/11/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. government decided to keep extra taxes on certain solar panel products from China and Taiwan to protect American solar businesses from harm. These taxes, called countervailing and antidumping duties, will stay in place because removing them could hurt U.S. companies soon. This decision was finalized in June 2026 and means importers will keep paying these fees for now.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Duties remain on China/Taiwan solar panels
On June 8, 2026 the U.S. International Trade Commission decided to keep the countervailing duty order on crystalline silicon photovoltaic products from China and the antidumping duty orders on crystalline silicon photovoltaic products from China and Taiwan. The Commission said removing those duties would likely cause renewed harm to a U.S. industry, so the orders remain in place to protect American solar businesses.
Importers must continue paying duties
Because the Commission maintained the countervailing and antidumping duty orders on crystalline silicon photovoltaic products from China and Taiwan on June 8, 2026, importers of those covered solar products will continue to be subject to those duties. Importers should expect the existing duties to remain in effect rather than be revoked at this time.
