The Commerce Department announced Friday that Chinese solar cell and module manufacturers are shipping their products through four Southeast Asian countries to evade paying antidumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVD). The finding comes following an investigation that began more than a year ago.
Commerce specifically identified five Chinese companies that it asserts only partially assemble their solar products in Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and/or Vietnam before shipping them into the United States. However, these companies still have the opportunity to certify that they are not circumventing U.S. duties.
