Products From Taiwan: Antidumping 

Duty Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (the ‘‘Department’’) and the 

International Trade Commission (the 

‘‘ITC’’), the Department is issuing an 

antidumping duty (‘‘AD’’) order on 

certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic 

products (‘‘certain solar products’’) from 

Taiwan. 

DATES: Effective Date: February 18, 

2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with sections 735(d) 

and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the ‘‘Act’’) and 19 CFR 

351.210(c), on December 23, 2014, the 

Department published an affirmative 

final determination of sales at less than 

fair value (‘‘LTFV’’) in the investigation 

of certain solar products from Taiwan.1

On February 5, 2015, the ITC notified 

the Department of its affirmative 

determinations that an industry in the 

United States is materially injured 

within the meaning of section 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of 

LTFV imports of certain solar products 

from the People’s Republic of China and 

Taiwan.2

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

order is crystalline silicon photovoltaic 

cells, and modules, laminates and/or 

panels consisting of crystalline silicon 

photovoltaic cells, whether or not 

partially or fully assembled into other 

products, including building integrated 

materials. 

Subject merchandise includes 

crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells of 

thickness equal to or greater than 20 

micrometers, having a p/n junction 

formed by any means, whether or not 

the cell has undergone other processing, 

including, but not limited to, cleaning, 

etching, coating, and/or addition of 

materials (including, but not limited to, 

metallization and conductor patterns) to 

collect and forward the electricity that 

is generated by the cell. 

Modules, laminates, and panels 

produced in a third-country from cells 

produced in Taiwan are covered by this 

investigation. However, modules, 

laminates, and panels produced in 

Taiwan from cells produced in a thirdcountry are not covered by this 

investigation. 

Excluded from the scope of this 

investigation are thin film photovoltaic 

products produced from amorphous 

silicon (a-Si), cadmium telluride (CdTe), 

or copper indium gallium selenide 

(CIGS). Also excluded from the scope of 

this investigation are crystalline silicon 

photovoltaic cells, not exceeding 10,000 

mm2 in surface area, that are 

permanently integrated into a consumer 

good whose function is other than 

power generation and that consumes the 

electricity generated by the integrated 

crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells. 

Where more than one cell is 

permanently integrated into a consumer 

good, the surface area for purposes of 

this exclusion shall be the total 

combined surface area of all cells that 

are integrated into the consumer good. 

Further, also excluded from the scope 

of this investigation are any products 

covered by the existing antidumping 

and countervailing duty orders on 

crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, 

whether or not assembled into modules, 

from the People’s Republic of China 

(‘‘PRC’’).3 Also excluded from the scope 

of this investigation are modules, 

laminates, and panels produced in the 

PRC from crystalline silicon 

photovoltaic cells produced in Taiwan 

that are covered by an existing 

proceeding on such modules, laminates, 

and panels from the PRC. 

Merchandise covered by this 

investigation is currently classified in 

the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) under 

subheadings 8501.61.0000, 

8507.20.8030, 8507.20.8040, 

8507.20.8060, 8507.20.8090, 

8541.40.6020, 8541.40.6030 and 

8501.31.8000. These HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes; the 

written description of the scope of this 

investigation is dispositive. 

Antidumping Duty Order 

As stated above, on February 5, 2015, 

in accordance with section 735(d) of the 

Act, the ITC notified the Department of 

its final determination in its 

investigation, in which it found that an 

industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of imports 

of certain solar products from Taiwan. 

Because the ITC determined that 

imports of certain solar products from

Taiwan are materially injuring a U.S. 

industry, unliquidated entries of such 

merchandise from Taiwan, entered or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption are subject to the 

assessment of antidumping duties. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department will 

direct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to assess, upon 

further instruction by the Department, 

antidumping duties equal to the amount 

by which the normal value of the 

merchandise exceeds the export price 

(or constructed export price) of the 

merchandise, for all relevant entries of 

certain solar products from Taiwan. 

These antidumping duties will be 

assessed on unliquidated entries of 

certain solar products from Taiwan 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after July 31, 

2014, the date of publication of the 

preliminary determination,4 and which 

are subject to the scope of this Order, as 

described above. However, antidumping 

duties will not be assessed on entries 

occurring after the expiration of the 

provisional measures period and before 

publication of the ITC’s final injury 

determination as further described 

below. 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will instruct 

CBP to continue to suspend liquidation 

on all entries of certain solar products 

from Taiwan. These instructions 

suspending liquidation will remain in 

effect until further notice. 

We will also instruct CBP to require 

cash deposits at rates equal to the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margins indicated below. Accordingly, 

effective on the date of publication of 

the ITC’s final affirmative injury 

determinations, CBP will require a cash 

deposit at rates equal to the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

listed below.5 The relevant all-others 

rate for Taiwan, applies to all producers 

or exporters not specifically listed. 

Provisional Measures 

Section 733(d) of the Act states that 

instructions issued pursuant to an 

affirmative preliminary determination 

may not remain in effect for more than 

four months except where exporters 

representing a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise 

request the Department to extend that 

four-month period to no more than six 

months. At the request of exporters that 

account for a significant proportion of 

certain solar products from Taiwan, we 

extended the four-month period to no 

more than six months in this case.6 As 

stated above, in the investigation 

covering certain solar products from 

Taiwan, the Department published the 

preliminary determination on July 31, 

2014. Therefore, the six-month period 

beginning on the date of publication of 

the preliminary determination ended on 

January 27, 2015. Furthermore, section 

737(b) of the Act states that definitive 

duties are to begin on the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final injury 

determination. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

733(d) of the Act and our practice, we 

will instruct CBP to terminate the 

suspension of liquidation and to 

liquidate, without regard to 

antidumping duties, unliquidated 

entries of certain solar products from 

Taiwan, entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

January 27, 2015, the date the 

provisional measures expired, until and 

through the day preceding the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final injury 

determination in the Federal Register. 

Suspension of liquidation resumes on 

the date of publication of the ITC’s final 

determination in the Federal Register.
