U.S. AD/CVD Orders on Silicon Solar Cells and Modules from India, Indonesia and Laos

The U.S. International Trade Commission made an affirmative final determination that the domestic solar panel manufacturing industry is harmed by unfairly priced imports of silicon solar cells and modules from India, Indonesia and Laos, concluding a 15-month AD/CVD investigation. Commerce issued its final tariff calculations last month and will issue the orders on November 2, after which CBP will begin collecting cash deposits on subject solar cells and modules from the three countries. The investigation followed a July 2025 petition by the Alliance for American Solar Manufacturing and Trade, which alleged manufacturers relocated operations to India, Indonesia and Laos to avoid existing tariffs.
