Solar Duties
Share

The European Union (EU) on November 28 imposed tariffs of up to 42.1 percent on solar glass imports from China.

Chinese manufacturers had been allegedly selling the product, which is used for producing solar panels, in the EU at prices below cost, thus causing "material injury" to EU producers, the European Commission said in its Official Journal.

The provisional levies, resulting from an anti-dumping investigation the commission launched in February, would range from 17.1 percent to 42.1 percent.

The decision came months after China and the EU solved solar panel trade disputes through "an amicable solution" in August.

The duties would be effective for six months, but would be prolonged for five years if the EU's 28 member states make a final ruling by May 27 next year to do so.
