Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the anti-dumping measures imposed by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce on solar-grade polysilicon imported from the United States and South Korea, highlighting the continuation and adjustment of these tariffs over the years [1][2][3]. Group 1: Anti-Dumping Measures History - On January 20, 2014, the Ministry of Commerce announced anti-dumping duties on solar-grade polysilicon from the U.S. (53.3%-57%) and South Korea (2.4%-48.7%) for a period of five years [1]. - On November 21, 2017, the anti-dumping duty rates for South Korean imports were adjusted to 4.4%-113.8% [2]. - On January 19, 2020, the Ministry decided to continue the existing anti-dumping duties as per the previous announcements for another five years [1][2]. Group 2: Review and Future Measures - On January 10, 2025, the Ministry announced a review of the anti-dumping measures, indicating that if these measures were terminated, the likelihood of continued or renewed dumping from the U.S. and South Korea could harm the Chinese solar-grade polysilicon industry [2]. - The Ministry recommended to the State Council Tariff Commission to continue the anti-dumping measures, which will be effective from January 14, 2026, for another five years [3]. Group 3: Product Description and Tax Rates - The investigated product is solar-grade polysilicon, produced using methods such as the Siemens process and silane process, primarily used for manufacturing crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells [5][7]. - The specific anti-dumping tax rates for U.S. companies range from 53.3% to 57%, while South Korean companies face rates from 4.4% to 113.8%, with specific companies listed under these categories [7][9]. Group 4: Tax Collection Method - Starting from January 14, 2026, importers of solar-grade polysilicon from the U.S. and South Korea will be required to pay the corresponding anti-dumping duties based on the customs-determined taxable price [9].
