The United States Commerce Department finalised steep anti dumping and countervailing duties on solar cells and panels imported from India, Indonesia and Laos, after finding producers in these countries had dumped goods below fair value and benefited from unfair government subsidies. Indian producers face an anti dumping duty of 123.04 per cent and a countervailing duty of 126.09 per cent, with Indonesian and Lao producers facing comparable combined rates. The case was brought by the Alliance for American Solar Manufacturing and Trade, whose members include domestic manufacturers First Solar, Hanwha Qcells and Mission Solar Energy, and follows a pattern seen since the United States first imposed similar duties on Chinese solar products in 2012, which pushed manufacturing to other Asian countries now facing the same scrutiny.
