Briefing: Department of Commerce Initiates Anti-Circumvention Investigation

On March 28, 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced that it launched an investigation into circumvention of anti-dumping (AD) and countervailing duties (CVD) by solar PV makers in Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, as requested by Auxin Solar on February 8, 2022.

The full investigation will take 300 – 365 days and if Commerce finds circumvention, importers of cells and modules from these four nations will have to pay duties. At Commerce Secretary Raimondo’s discretion, these duties can be applied retroactively to as far back as November 4, 2021.

CEA's Market Intelligence team has developed a briefing on the high-level implications of this investigation, as well as the process going forward.
