Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, From the People's Republic of China: Initiation of Circumvention Inquiry on the Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders

Streszczenie

In response to a request from First Solar, Inc., Hanwha Q CELLS USA Inc., Talon PV, Swift Solar, Great Lakes Solex PR, LLC, DYCM Power, LLC, Suniva Inc., and Silfab Solar Inc. (collectively, the requesters), the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) is initiating a country-wide circumvention inquiry to determine whether imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules (solar cells), that have been completed in Ethiopia using parts and components manufactured in the People's Republic of China (China), that are then subsequently exported from Ethiopia to the United States or are completed or assembled, using additional inputs from China, into modules in Vietnam and then exported to the United States are circumventing the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on solar cells from China.
