Measures will be taken against dumping in solar panel imports from five countries. The Ministry of Trade decided to impose a dumping measure of 25 dollars per square meter on imports of “photovoltaic cells (solar panels) assembled in a module or arranged in panels” from Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Croatia, and Jordan. The Regulation on Prevention of Unfair Competition in Imports, prepared by the Ministry (Regulation No: 2024/30), was published in the Official Gazette and entered into force. According to the investigation, it was determined that the current dumping measure of 20 to 25 dollars per square meter applied on imports of goods originating in China on an exporter-specific basis was rendered ineffective with imports originating from Croatia, Malaysia, Thailand, Jordan, and Vietnam. However, it was found that Jinko Solar Technology Sdn. Bhd. based in Malaysia, Vina Solar Technology Company Limited and JA Solar Vietnam Company Limited based in Vietnam, as well as Trina Solar Energy Development Company Limited based in Thailand, did not render the current dumping measure ineffective. Therefore, it was decided that the dumping measure of 25 dollars per square meter would be applied to all firms based in Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand, except for those firms that did not render the dumping measure ineffective, as well as to all firms based in Croatia and Jordan. Furthermore, the Ministry decided to initiate an investigation against the inefficiency of the measures related to imports of “textiles made from synthetic or artificial staple fibers” originating in Malaysia and to secure these imports by linking them to the dumping measure rate applied in imports originating in China under the Regulation on Prevention of Unfair Competition in Imports (Regulation No: 2019/4).
