China's solar panels will be restricted by the U.S. tariffs

Recently, news that China exports to the U.S. by solar panels will be up to $ 70,000,000 U.S. tariff "special attention."

The United States Tariff Act to be implemented, a time when the United States on the occasion of solar cell industry malaise. The implementation of this bill would likely harm not only to foreign manufacturers of solar panels, and the United States and abroad will also have solar panels have a great impact on dealers. More serious consequence is that this will further aggravate already tense Sino-US trade disputes if.

December 1 last year, the Spanish energy company in the United States branch of GES USA to the U.S. Customs officials sent a letter in the letter asked the company if you want to import solar panels from China, the United States which tariffs will be levied. Unexpectedly, a ripple, the situation has developed to the United States will impose a special tariff level.

January 9 this year, the U.S. Customs department responded to the letter, said the solar panels from China can not perform tax system. Instead, the panels included with the security and energy-related electronic components, will be levied as import generators and 2.5% of the tariff. 2.5% of the tariff is levied on imported products, the implementation of the standard normal tariffs than the United States a product intended to limit the punitive tariffs on imports is much lower. For example, three weeks ago, the Chinese tires safeguard, the United States to the taxation of tire imports from China up to 35% of the tariff.

However, the implementation of the tariff when the global downturn in the international solar cell industry. By the continued expansion of China and the global solar industry solar panels double impact of falling prices, a lot of solar panels produced a steady decline in corporate profits. Due to overcapacity, and now a way to raise prices to compensate for tariff losses caused by the price accepted by consumers is difficult, but since January this year the price of solar panels has gone down 5 times.

According to the U.S. Department of Commerce statistics show that in the first 7 months of this year, the U.S. import and export of solar panels is roughly equal to the total, of which 605 million of imports and exports 555 million.

By the United States and abroad to form the U.S. solar energy companies insist that the Solar Energy Industries Association, the U.S. government to impose special tariffs on solar panels will result in U.S. imports from other countries impose higher tariffs on similar products.

The U.S. Customs Department's decision into the U.S. solar energy industry in the United States importers and manufacturers of solar equipment in two parts. With China accounting for the increasing share of U.S. imports, the tariff will be the United States following the tires, automobiles, and chicken and then a rise to trade tensions between the sticking point.

American Solar Energy Industry Association, Xi Luoen? Royce Chi (Rhone Resch said the solar panels of some Chinese manufacturers are planning to move to the final assembly line in the United States, so one day to avoid the potential risk of additional duties.

The tariff will be widely applicable for the residential, commercial or industrial electronic systems provide power and energy, solar panels, and built-in solar panels, small light bulbs as a lighting device has been imposed tariffs of 3.9%.

U.S. criticism of the legal profession is not the early detection of solar panel industry, the import tariffs. U.S. Customs and International Trade Bar Association, former chairman of Dewey & Leboeuf is also a partner in Washington's Mel Schwechter said: "For an industry, the use of 8 months time to recognize a duty arising from it is some of the serious consequences of substandard routine. "

Once the U.S. Customs department ruled each company due to "false or false" solar panels imported materials which led to early detection is not already on the solar panels should be included in the non-tax provisions, importers are likely to bear over the past 5 years Import tariffs on solar panels to avoid legal liability.

Chi Rice said in court that the association plans to put solar panels on the list are classified in the generator question.
