Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products (Solar Panels) From China and Taiwan; Scheduling of Expedited Five-Year Reviews

Brief takeaway: The ITC is running expedited five-year (sunset) reviews on existing solar panel duty orders to decide whether removing those orders would likely lead to renewed injury to the U.S. industry.

What changed: According to the notice, the Commission has scheduled expedited reviews under the Tariff Act of 1930 to determine whether revoking the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on crystalline silicon photovoltaic products from China, and the antidumping duty order on such products from Taiwan, would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury. The notice states these are procedural review scheduling steps, not a change to the current orders.

Who's affected: The notice names crystalline silicon photovoltaic products (solar panels). It cites countries of origin China and Taiwan. For China, the notice references both antidumping and countervailing duty orders; for Taiwan, only an antidumping duty order. Specific HTS codes are not stated in this notice.

What to review:
- Review whether your solar panel imports may fall within the products covered by these existing orders.
- Confirm with your customs broker the current antidumping and countervailing duty status and any deposit rates for goods from China and Taiwan.
- Check the country of origin and product classification of your solar panels against the scope described in the underlying orders.
- Review official case dockets for any outcome or effective-date updates from these reviews.
