US to impose new duties on solar imports from Southeast Asia
The United States on Monday announced its intention to impose tariffs of up to 3,521 percent on solar panels from Southeast Asia, a move aimed at countering alleged Chinese subsidies and dumping in the sector.
Among firms targeted were Chinese companies Jinko Solar and Trina Solar.
Products from Cambodia are set to face duties of up to 3,521 percent, according to the Commerce Department.
Jinko Solar faced duties of 40 percent for exports from Malaysia and around 245 percent for goods from Vietnam.
Trina Solar in Thailand will see duties of more than 375 percent, and more than 200 percent for products from Vietnam.
If imposed, the new levies will come on top of the blanket 10 percent levy imposed by Trump since early April on products entering the United States from most trading partners.
In 2023, the United States imported $11.9 billion in solar cells from the countries named in the latest action, according to official data.
