Duties on certain Chinese solar modules to end

Canada will stop imposing anti-dumping and countervailing duties on certain photovoltaic modules and laminates from China after the Canadian International Trade Tribunal ended an expiry review.

The tribunal said it terminated the review of its March 25, 2021 order and rescinded that order. As a result, the Canada Border Services Agency will not continue collecting the duties covered by the case.

Scope is limited to the order

The decision concerns the specific photovoltaic goods covered by expiry review RR-2020-001. It should not be read as removing every tariff, tax or import rule that may apply to all solar products from China.

The tribunal is an independent quasi-judicial body that handles dumped and subsidized import cases, federal procurement complaints and certain customs and excise appeals.
