Countervailing Duty Imposed on Chinese Imports of US Polysilicon May Have Limited Impact on Price
As Indicated by EnergyTrend’s investigation, the annual growth rate for Chinese imports of US polysilicon was about 85% in 2012. In addition, based on the data announced by MOFCOM, the amount of the imported polysilicon that is subsidized by the US government has continued to go upward. It increased by almost 100% in the first half of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Judging from the demand of Chinese solar-grade polysilicon in 2012, the proportion of imports from the US accounted for more than 20%.
