The Department of Commerce is issuing antidumping duty orders on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from India, Indonesia and the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, applicable November 9, 2026. Commerce said the orders rest on its affirmative final determinations of sales at less than fair value, issued on September 16, 2026, and on the International Trade Commission’s affirmative injury notification of November 2, 2026.

The same notice amends the final determination for Laos to correct a ministerial error, following a petitioner allegation filed on September 16, 2026 and a Commerce analysis memorandum dated October 13, 2026. Commerce had found critical circumstances in part in the Indonesia case and in parts of the India and Laos cases at the final stage, a finding that can extend duty liability to imports entered before the preliminary determinations.
