The Commerce Ministry is preparing to protest against a US investigation that could result in tariffs on solar panels imported from four Southeast Asian nations including Thailand.
On March 28, the US Commerce Department announced on its website that it planned to open inquiries into whether solar cells and modules produced in Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, using parts and components from China and exported to the US, are circumventing anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders on solar cells and modules from the mainland.
The inquiries are being initiated because of Auxin Solar Inc's request to the department.
