Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, from India, Indonesia, and Laos Injure U.S. Industry, Says USITC [UPDATED]

The United States International Trade Commission (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 India, Indonesia, and Laos 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 India, Indonesia, and Laos.

Chairman Brett W. Doyle and Commissioners Jason E. Kearns, Peter-Anthony Pappas, Bart Thanhauser, and David Foley Jr. voted in the affirmative. Commissioner Samuel T. Negatu did not participate in the vote. 

As a result of the USITC’s affirmative determinations, Commerce will issue antidumping and countervailing duty orders on imports of these products from India, Indonesia, and Laos.

The USITC also made negative critical circumstances determinations with respect to certain imports from India and Laos for which Commerce had made final affirmative critical circumstances findings in its antidumping and countervailing duty investigations, and made affirmative critical circumstances determinations with respect to certain imports from Indonesia for which Commerce had made final affirmative critical circumstances findings in its antidumping and countervailing duty investigations.* 

The USITC’s public report, Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, from India, Indonesia, and Laos(Inv. Nos. 701-TA-772-774 and 731-TA-1756-1758 (Final), USITC Publication 5804, October 2026), will contain the views of the USITC and information developed during the investigations.

The report will be available on the USITC website by November 23, 2026.

Status of proceedings, links to relevant documents, and more information about the investigations can be found at the USITC’s Investigations Database System (IDS).

*October 15 Update: The news release was revised to incorporate the USITC's critical circumstances findings.
