据彭博社5月20日报道，美国政府贸易委员会周二得出结论，从东南亚进口太阳能产品威胁到国内制造 商。这意味着对当地四个国家的相关设备征收高关税已成定局。 该国国际贸易委员会当天表决认定，从柬埔寨、马来西亚、泰国和越南进口的太阳能电池和组件正损害 美国制造商利益。由此相关关税跨过了全面生效的最终关键门槛，为6月开征奠定了基础。 根据美国商务部上个月实际算出的关税，柬埔寨部分制造商面临的税率将高达3521%，反映出该国决定 停止配合美国调查的影响。其它国家和企业的税率要低得多。越南平均税率在396%，泰国为375%，马 来西亚则是34%。 美国此前进行了长达一年的贸易调查，认为上述四国的太阳能产品制造商不公平地受益于政府补贴，并 且以低于生产成本的价格向美国出口。调查应美国太阳能制造商的要求进行，并在美国前总统乔·拜登 任内启动。 【 热门视频推荐 】 由凤凰网主办的"2025中国企业出海高峰论坛"将于6月28-29日在深圳举行。论坛以"更开放的世界 更共 赢的机遇"为主题，探讨新兴市场出海攻略，汇聚30余国经贸代表、超50家行业领军企业及百余位政策 制定者，聚焦政策研判、产业实战与区域合作，为中国企业全球化提供系 ...
