Starting in January, imports of Chinese solar wafers and polysilicon will carry a 50 percent tariff, up from the current levy of 25 percent. Polysilicon is a type of silicon that is used to make solar panels, while wafers are the semiconductors used in the panels.
(Brian van der Brug/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images) The Biden administration will double tariffs on certain solar panel components that are made in China, it announced Wednesday. Starting in January, imports of Chinese solar wafers and polysilicon will carry a 50 percent tariff, up from the current levy of 25 percent.
The US government has decided to raise the tariff rates it applies to solar cells imported from China from 25% to 50%. “The tariff increase will protect against China’s policy-driven overcapacity that depresses prices and inhibits the development of solar capacity outside of China,” the White House said in a statement.
The administration of US President Joe Biden has raised tariff rates on PV cell imports from China from 25% to 50%. It has also increased the tariff rates for semiconductors, electric vehicles, and EV batteries from China, among other goods.
President Biden has directed Rep. Tai to add or increase tariffs for certain Chinese solar products. The Administration aims to combat China's export growth in these sectors with these new tariffs. In recent years, China has targeted solar products, lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicles for export growth.
The Biden administration's move to re-align 301 tariffs is welcomed by the Solar Energy Manufacturing for America (SEMA) Coalition, a group of U.S. solar manufacturers. They are glad to see this step taken to onshore U.S. solar manufacturing and support solar manufacturing workers.
