The Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam announced this week that Turkey’s Directorate General of Imports (DGI) has completed an anti-dumping investigation into the import of solar panels from Croatia, Jordan, Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam.
The investigation was launched in March to determine whether products assembled in these countries circumvented the $20/m2 anti-subsidy duties that Turkey imposed on Chinese solar panels in 2023.
The DGI decided to impose a tariff of $25/m2 on products imported from the above-mentioned countries. The tariff came into effect on September 27. However, it was decided to exempt a unit of Jinkosolar in Malaysia, a unit of JA Solar and Vietnamese module manufacturer Vina Solar in Vietnam, as well as a unit of Trina Solar from paying the levy. in Thailand.
For all other manufacturers present in the five countries and exporting modules to Turkey, the rate of $25/m2 applies. However, their names have not been released by Vietnamese authorities.
Turkey introduced the first restrictions on the import of solar panels in April 2020. The PV cell and module industry has more than 60 manufacturers.
