US Solar Manufacturers Seek New Tariffs on Imports From India, Southeast Asia
UNITED STATES, JUL 17 – The petition alleges imports from India, Indonesia, and Laos are dumped at up to 249% below cost and subsidized, threatening U.S. solar manufacturing growth, petitioners said.
- On July 17, 2025 the Alliance for American Solar Manufacturing and Trade filed petitions with the U.S. Department of Commerce and U.S. International Trade Commission, targeting solar cell and panel imports from India, Indonesia and Laos, potentially triggering new AD/CVD investigations.
- The petition alleges firms in India, Indonesia and Laos are selling modules below production cost, benefiting from government subsidies after shifting production from tariffed countries.
- The petitioners report dumping margins of 89.65% for Indonesia, up to 249.09% for Laos and 213.96% for India.
- The U.S. Department of Commerce has 20 days to decide on an investigation, and the International Trade Commission will assess industry injury, potentially leading to offsetting tariffs.
- These new cases extend a trade dispute begun in 2011, aiming to protect billions of dollars of U.S. solar manufacturing investments.
