Reminder on Utilization Requirements for Solar Cells and Modules Imported from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam

Reminder on Utilization Requirements for Solar Cells and Modules Imported from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam

On August 23, 2023, the Department of Commerce published the Final Scope Determination and Final Affirmative Determinations of Circumvention with Respect to Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam relating to the Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders on Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, From the People’s Republic of China (88 FR 57419). 

This determination provides, among other things, that “applicable entries” from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam entering after November 15, 2022 and before the “date of termination” (June 6 2024) must be utilized (used or installed) in the United States by the “utilization expiration date,” 180 days after the date of termination (180 days after the earlier of 06/06/2024, or the date the emergency described in Presidential Proclamation 10414 is terminated). Such entries that are not utilized by the expiration date will be subject to antidumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVD). 

Merchandise which remains in inventory or a warehouse in the United States after the utilization expiration date; is resold to another party; is subsequently exported; or is destroyed after importation is not considered utilized. 

If subject imports are entered without the payment of the cash deposit of antidumping and countervailing duties, and do not meet the utilization requirements, importers should reach out to CBP to file a post summary correction with the AD/CVD cash deposit. For entries beyond the post summary correction timeline, importers may file a prior disclosure.

Importers should be prepared, upon request, to document to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) whether “applicable entries” entering during the specified period were used or installed in the United States by the expiration date. Importers are required to file on a timely basis in the Document Imaging System the certifications required by Commerce’s Final Determination. 

For more information, see the Commerce Department’s Final Determination published in the Federal Register at 88 FR 57419, August 23, 2023.

Global Business Navigator Chatbot Beta

Welcome to the Global Business Navigator, an artificial intelligence (AI) Chatbot from the International Trade Administration (ITA). This tool, currently in beta version testing, is designed to provide general information on the exporting process and the resources available to assist new and experienced U.S. exporters. The Chatbot, developed using Microsoft’s Azure AI services, is trained on ITA’s export-related content and aims to quickly get users the information they need. The Chatbot is intended to make the benefits of exporting more accessible by understanding non-expert language, idiomatic expressions, and foreign languages.

Limitations

As a beta product, the Chatbot is currently being tested and its responses may occasionally produce inaccurate or incomplete information. The Chatbot is trained to decline out of scope or inappropriate requests. The Chatbot’s knowledge is limited to the public information on the Export Solutions web pages of Trade.gov, which covers a wide range of topics on exporting. While it cannot provide responses specific to a company’s product or a specific foreign market, its reference pages will guide you to other relevant government resources and market research. Always double-check the Chatbot’s responses using the provided references or by visiting the Export Solutions web pages on Trade.gov. Do not use its responses as legal or professional advice. Inaccurate advice from the Chatbot would not be a defense to violating any export rules or regulations.

Privacy

The Chatbot does not collect information about users and does not use the contents of users’ chat history to learn new information. All feedback is anonymous. Please do not enter personally identifiable information (PII), sensitive, or proprietary information into the Chatbot. Your conversations will not be connected to other interactions or accounts with ITA. Conversations with the Chatbot may be reviewed to help ITA improve the tool and address harmful, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate questions.

Translation

The Chatbot supports a wide range of languages. Because the Chatbot is trained in English and responses are translated, you should verify the translation. For example, the Chatbot may have difficulty with acronyms, abbreviations, and nuances in a language other than English.
