On July 16, the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee (AASMT) filed a new petition with the U.S. Department of Commerce requesting anti-dumping (AD) and countervailing duties (CVD) investigations.
The petition accuses Chinese and Indian companies of violating trade laws by channeling solar exports through Indonesia, Laos, and India, thereby harming U.S. manufacturers. Final tariff determinations are expected in 2026.
