6 FAQs about Photovoltaic glass export tariff

How will the 301 tariff affect the US solar supply chain?

Notably, the adjusted 301 tariff expands to cover Chinese exports of polysilicon and mono-Si wafers, with a 50% tariff rate set to take effect on January 1, 2025. This move is expected to affect the upstream sector in the US PV supply chain. The U.S. had imposed several trade barriers against Chinese solar cell and module imports.

Will China reduce export tax rebates for solar panels and batteries?

China has announced it will lower the export tax rebate rate for solar photovoltaic products and batteries from 13% to 9% starting December 1, 2024. It also eliminates export tax rebates for aluminum and copper. The announcement was jointly made by China's Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration.

Are tariffs affecting the solar industry?

Ultimately, tariffs failed to deliver any meaningful development in the US and European solar manufacturing sectors. • Policy interventions and geopolitical alignments recently have significantly redirected investment flows, as evidenced by corporate announcements.

How will the elimination of export tax rebates affect solar PV & batteries?

The elimination of export tax rebates on aluminum and copper, which are also used in the renewable energy industry, has already increased the prices of these metals. The reduction in export incentives could also impact solar PV and batteries.

What tariffs are imposed on Chinese solar cells & modules?

The U.S. had imposed several trade barriers against Chinese solar cell and module imports. In addition to the original 25% tariff under the Section 301, there are anti-dumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVD) that have been imposed since 2012 as well as the Section 201 tariffs targeting cells and modules from all countries.

How will the new 301 tariffs affect the PV market?

The new 301 tariff increases will have minimal impact on the PV market. As the U.S. currently has a planned wafer capacity of about 10.3 GW, there is no significant demand for polysilicon imports, meaning that the impact of new tariffs on polysilicon won't reveal until 2026.
