CRYSTALLINE SILICON PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS, WHETHER OR NOT ASSEMBLED INTO MODULES, FROM CAMBODIA, MALAYSIA, THAILAND, AND VIETNAM INJURE OR THREATEN U.S. INDUSTRY, SAYS USITC [REVISED]

The United States International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from Malaysia and Vietnam that the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the governments of Malaysia and Vietnam. The Commission also determined that a U.S. industry is threatened with material injury by reason of imports of this product from Cambodia and Thailand that Commerce has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the governments of Cambodia and Thailand.

Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative. 

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, Commerce will issue countervailing duty and antidumping duty orders on imports of these products from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. 

The Commission made negative critical circumstances findings with regard to imports of this product from Vietnam. Because of its threat determination, no critical circumstances findings with regard to imports of this product from Thailand were reached. 

The Commission’s public report on Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled into Modules, from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-722-725 and 731-TA-1690-1693 (Final), USITC Publication 5631, June 2025) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.

The report will be available by June 30, 2025; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website.
