The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) has determined there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured due to imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from India, Indonesia, and Laos that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the governments of India, Indonesia, and Laos.
Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations of imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from India, Indonesia, and Laos, with its preliminary antidumping duty determinations due on or about December 24, 2025, and its preliminary countervailing duty determinations due on or about October 10, 2025.
The Commission’s public report of Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled into Modules, from India, Indonesia, and Laos (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-772-774 and
731-TA-1756-1758 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5665, September 2025) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.
The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC or Commission) pursues its mission in three areas of
U.S. international trade:
- adjudication,
- research and analysis, and
- maintaining the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
The Commission investigates and makes determinations in proceedings involving imports claimed to injure a domestic industry or violate U.S. intellectual property rights; provides independent analysis and information on tariffs, trade and competitiveness; and maintains the U.S. tariff schedule.
