US COMMERCE DEPARTMENT INITIATES IMPORT DUTY EVASION INQUIRY RE SOLAR CELLS AND MODULES FROM CAMBODIA, MALAYSIA, THAILAND AND VIETNAM

On 14 April, DLA Piper reported that the Department of Commerce had instituted inquiries to determine whether imports of solar cells and modules from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam are circumventing anti-dumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) orders on Chinese crystalline silicon photovoltaic (CSPV) cells and modules.  This follows one company having filed a petition in February alleging that certain Chinese CSPV producers are circumventing the AD/CVD orders on CSPV cells and modules from China by producing and assembling them, using Chinese-made components, in Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.
