A few days ago, the Ministry of Trade of Turkey officially issued Announcement No. 2024/30, modifying the final result of the anti-circumvention of the anti-dumping case of photovoltaic modules originating in China. The change exempts some companies in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam from anti-dumping duties.
It is reported that the products involved mainly include photovoltaic cell modules and solar panels, involving products under the Turkish tax code 8541.43.00.00.00. Since Turkey launched an anti-dumping investigation against photovoltaic modules originating in China on July 1, 2016, the case has undergone several reviews and investigations. On April 1, 2017, Turkey made its first affirmative final ruling and imposed anti-dumping duties on the products involved for a period of five years.
On March 26, 2022, the Turkish Ministry of Trade initiated the first sunset review investigation of the case, and made a positive final ruling on September 15, 2023, continuing to impose anti-dumping duties. However, on November 25, 2023, Turkey again launched an anti-circumvention investigation on photovoltaic modules originating in China, and made a final ruling on March 19, 2024, ruling that the products involved in China were exported to Turkey through Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Croatia and Jordan to avoid anti-dumping duties, and decided to impose anti-dumping duties on the products involved in the above countries.
The revision decision, effective from the date of the announcement, is undoubtedly good news for some enterprises in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. However, for the PV module industry, the frequent initiation of anti-dumping and anti-circumvention investigations is still a challenge that cannot be ignored. In the future, relevant enterprises should pay close attention to changes in international trade policies and actively respond to possible trade barriers.
