The U.S. Commerce Department finalised steep duties on solar cells and panels imported from India, Indonesia and Laos on Sept. 11, 2026. It found producers in all three countries dumped products in the U.S. market and benefited from government subsidies. Anti-dumping margins were set at 123.04% for India, 94.36% for Indonesia, and 65.43% for Laos. Countervailing duty rates were set at 126.09% for India, between 73.2% and 173.7% for Indonesia, and between 82.03% and 153.67% for Laos. The case originated from a trade investigation brought by the Alliance for American Solar Manufacturing and Trade, whose members include First Solar, Hanwha Qcells and Mission Solar Energy. The U.S. International Trade Commission is scheduled to make a final determination on Oct. 14 on whether the imports materially injured or threatened to injure U.S. manufacturers. If affirmative, Commerce is expected to issue final duty orders in November. The ruling follows earlier U.S. duties imposed on Chinese solar products in 2012, which prompted manufacturers there to shift production to other Asian countries.
