New Delhi: India may continue with the safeguard duty on solar cells imported from China, Thailand and Vietnam for one year period effective July 31. However, other developing countries including Malaysia and Indonesia are exempt from the duty, the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) said in its final findings of review investigation for continued imposition of Safeguard duty on imports of “Solar Cells whether or not assembled in modules or panels”.
“As the imports from developing nations…except China PR, Thailand and Vietnam do not exceed 3% individually and 9% collectively, the import of product under consideration originating from developing nations except China PR, Thailand and Vietnam will not attract Safeguard Duty,” DGTR said.
