U.S. Commerce Department Issues Final Circumvention Decisions in Solar Case

In final determinations issued in recent weeks, the U.S. Department of Commerce mostly confirmed its preliminary determinations that several manufacturers of photovoltaic cells and modules have been circumventing anti-dumping/countervailing duties imposed on imports from China by doing "minor processing" in four Southeast Asian countries. However, due to a pause on duty collection instituted by President Biden, no duties will be collected on imports of these products until June 2024.
