Commerce Targets Chinese Solar Imports in Routine Duty Review

## Summary

The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Chinese solar cell exporters sold products below fair value from Dec 2023 to Nov 2024. They’re stopping reviews for 16 companies and plan to stop one more, which could affect duties and prices soon. If you’re in the solar business, keep an eye out for updates and possible changes in import costs starting June 24, 2026.

## Abstract

The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that exporters subject to this review made sales of subject merchandise at less than normal value (NV) during the period of review (POR), December 1, 2023, through November 30, 2024. In addition, we are rescinding the review with respect to 16 companies and intend to rescind this review with respect to Maodi Solar Technology (Dongguan) Co., Ltd. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results of review.
