According to the Turkish Import Authority, starting from September 27, a tariff of $25 per square meter will be imposed on solar modules imported from Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Croatia, and Jordan. Jinko Solar’s Malaysian subsidiary, JA Solar’s Vietnamese subsidiary, Trina Solar’s Thai subsidiary, and Vina Solar, a Vietnamese manufacturer acquired by Longi Green Energy, have been granted tariff exemptions.
On November 25, 2023, Türkiye’s Ministry of Trade announced the initiation of an anti-circumvention investigation into anti-dumping cases concerning solar modules originating from China, following requests from Turkish companies. The investigation will examine whether products involved from China are being exported via Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Croatia, and Jordan to evade anti-dumping duties.
Türkiye suspects that some companies from these five countries are attempting to circumvent the previously imposed countervailing duty of $20 per square meter on Chinese solar products. After several months of review, the Turkish government decided in March this year to impose a new tariff of $25 per square meter on solar products imported from these countries, marking a 25% increase from the previous duty.
