The U.S. Commerce Department finalized anti-dumping duties, which penalize imports sold below fair value, and countervailing duties, which offset government subsidies, on solar cells and panels from India, Indonesia and Laos. Anti-dumping margins were set at 123.04% for Indian producers, 94.36% for Indonesian producers and 65.43% for Lao producers. Countervailing duty rates were 126.09% for India, 73.2% to 173.7% for Indonesia and 82.03% to 153.67% for Laos. The investigation was initiated by the Alliance for American Solar Manufacturing and Trade, whose members include First Solar, Hanwha Qcells and Mission Solar Energy. The U.S. International Trade Commission is scheduled to decide on October 14 whether the imports materially injured or threatened domestic manufacturers; an affirmative vote would lead Commerce to issue final duty orders in November. The case extends a trade dispute that began with U.S. duties on Chinese solar products in 2012, after which Chinese manufacturers shifted production to other Asian countries.
