Published Date: 9/16/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce reviewed solar panel products from Taiwan and found that EEPV Corp. did not sell them in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from February 2024 to January 2025. This means no extra duties will be charged for that period, keeping prices steady for buyers and sellers. The decision is final as of September 16, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Importer Reimbursement Certificate Requirement
Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping duties before liquidation of relevant entries for this review period. If an importer fails to file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
EEPV Duty Rate Set To Zero
Commerce found that EEPV Corp. had a weighted‑average dumping margin of 0.00 percent for February 1, 2024 through January 31, 2025. As of the publication date (September 16, 2026), Commerce set EEPV's cash deposit rate to zero for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after that date, and intends to instruct CBP to liquidate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Unreported EEPV Entries May Face 19.50% Rate
If sales of EEPV merchandise were not reported in U.S. sales data but entries were entered for consumption during the period February 1, 2024 through January 31, 2025, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all‑others rate of 19.50 percent if there is no rate for any intermediate company involved.
Cash Deposit Rules For Other Exporters
Effective for shipments entered or withdrawn on or after the publication date (September 16, 2026), cash deposit rules are: (1) EEPV's deposit rate is zero; (2) companies covered in prior completed segments keep their published company‑specific rates; (3) if an exporter lacks a rate but the producer has one, the producer's company‑specific rate applies; and (4) all other producers or exporters will have a cash deposit rate of 19.50 percent.
