An introduction to the history of antidumping

During this period, domestic industries were protected from foreign competition by means of high tariffs and restrictions on imports. Starting fromimport substitution policy was replaced by a liberal import policy and domestic markets were opened to foreign competition by gradual reduction of customs duties and abolition of restrictions.

This article was updated on Jan. On Monday, the Trump administration revealed the highly anticipated — and, for many industry stakeholders, feared — determination on the Section trade case launched by Suniva and SolarWorld Americas.

Perhaps because President Donald Trump had been busy dealing with the government shutdown, however, U.

Upon receiving these recommendations, my staff and I conducted an exhaustive process which included opportunities to brief in person and through public comments, public hearings, and meetings with senior representatives.

Based on this information, the Trade Policy Committee developed recommendations, which the president has accepted. Last May, the ITC initiated an investigation after Georgia-based bankrupt manufacturer Suniva filed a Section petition, and, facing troubles of its own, Oregon-based SolarWorld Americas later joined as a co-petitioner.

The obscure Section mechanism is unlike the previous SolarWorld-led U.

The co-petitioners have argued that Chinese-owned module suppliers set up shop in other markets to successfully avoid U. Notably, SolarWorld has a German parent and Suniva is majority owned by a Chinese company, which opposed the Section petition.

Meanwhile, SEIA released its own report finding nearly the same number of jobs would be lost if Suniva got what it initially asked for. The ITC also recommended that a number of U. Suniva and SolarWorld considered the proposal too weak and called for higher tariffs, and SEIA maintained that any new tariffs would greatly threaten the solar industry.

Under a Section case, however, the president had the final say as to what, if any, trade actions to implement.

According to its announcement, the USTR will also engage in discussions among interested parties that could lead to positive resolution of the separate antidumping and countervailing duty measures currently imposed on Chinese solar products and U.

The goal of those discussions must be fair and sustainable trade throughout the whole solar energy value chain, which would benefit U.

Reactions Both co-petitioners have welcomed the decision, while the vast majority of other solar stakeholders have expressed disappointment and concerns.

We will work with the U. This is a step forward for this high-tech solar manufacturing industry we pioneered right here in America.

Introduction

SEIA also argues the decision will have far-reaching impacts across all sectors of the solar industry, including the loss of about 23, U. This decision is misguided and denies the reality that bankrupt foreign companies will be the beneficiaries of an American taxpayer bailout.

The group also says it also looks forward to working with interested parties to achieve a positive outcome in the existing antidumping and countervailing duty cases.

The case for solar energy is just too strong to be held down for long, but the severe near-term impacts of these tariffs are unfortunate and avoidable.
