Announcement from the US Department of Commerce: Asian photovoltaic manufacturers have not sold batteries at low prices, and “anti-circumvention investigations” will not be filed
Nov 12, 2021In the latest news on November 11, the United States rejected the request to initiate an investigation of Asian photovoltaic manufacturers, and the United States Department of Commerce determined that Asian companies did not sell photovoltaic cells at prices lower than normal.
The announcement documents show that we will not consider the 777(b) and other provisions of the bill, and have rejected A-SMACC's request for evasion of investigation on August 16, 2021.
Previously, an anonymous US solar manufacturer submitted an application to the US Department of Commerce, requesting that upstream components such as silicon wafers produced in China by specific manufacturers be assembled in Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia and exported to the US for crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells and modules.
The investigation may result in the imposition of tariffs on supplies from countries such as Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand, which accounted for more than 80% of the photovoltaic products imported into the United States in the first half of this year.
