US imposes preliminary AD duties on solar from India, Indonesia and Laos
Importers must apply 22.46–123.04% AD duties on India, Indonesia and Laos solar
Change
US Department of Commerce set preliminary anti-dumping duties on solar cells and panels from India (123.04%), Indonesia (35.17%) and Laos (22.46%).
Why it matters
Customs entries of covered solar products incur the stated preliminary duty rates upon entry. Importers must post cash deposits and reflect the new tariff layer in pricing while preliminary margins remain in force pending final determinations.
Implications
- — Importers and customs brokers must apply preliminary antidumping duties at entry — underpayment risks customs enforcement and penalties.
- — Procurement teams must reprice contracts before shipment arrival — unchanged pricing locks in higher landed costs.
Who is affected
- — Importers and customs brokers handling solar entries into the US
- — Procurement teams at US solar developers and distributors
