INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-772-774 and 731-TA-1756-1758 (Final)]


Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled 
Into Modules From India, Indonesia, and Laos; Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by 
reason of imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or 
not assembled into modules, from India, Indonesia, and Laos, provided 
for in subheadings 8541.42.00 and 8541.43.00 of the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States, that have been found by the U.S. 
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States 
at less than fair value (``LTFV''), and subsidized by the governments 
of India, Indonesia, and Laos.\2\ \3\ \4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in Sec.  207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ 91 FR 58643, 91 FR 58647, 91 FR 58638, 91 FR 58658, 91 FR 
58651, and 91 FR 58633 (September 16, 2026).
    \3\ Commissioner Samuel T. Negatu not participating.
    \4\ The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce's 
affirmative critical circumstances determinations are not likely to 
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping and 
countervailing duty orders on crystalline silicon photovoltaic 
cells, whether or not assembled into modules from India and Laos but 
are likely to undermine seriously the remedial effect of the 
antidumping and countervailing duty orders on crystalline silicon 
photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules from 
Indonesia.

Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective July 17, 
2025, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by the Alliance for American Solar Manufacturing and Trade.\5\ 
The final phase of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission 
following notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that 
imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not 
assembled into modules from India, Indonesia, and Laos were subsidized 
within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) 
and sold at LTFV within the meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the 
Commission's investigations and of a public hearing to be held in 
connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the 
Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 
Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register on 
May 13, 2026 (91 FR 27078). The Commission conducted its hearing on 
September 9, 2026. All persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to participate.

    \5\ Members include Hanwha Q CELLS USA Inc., First Solar, and 
Mission Solar.

    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.  
705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these 
investigations on November 2, 2026. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 5804 (November 2026), entitled 
Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into 
Modules, from India, Indonesia, and Laos: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-
772-774 and 731-TA-1756-1758 (Final).
