SolarWorld has submitted anti-dumping and anti-subsidy cases with the U.S. International Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Commerce against China and Taiwan to close what it says is a loophole in photovoltaic trade remedies issued a year ago.
According to SolarWorld, the measure enables Chinese producers to evade duties averaging about 31% by assembling modules from cells manufactured in third countries. As a result, the company says, China has continued to improperly subsidize its export-intensive campaign and sell below production costs in the U.S. market to seize market share.
