Transcription

1 SOLAR CELLS & MODULES CHINA (CRYSTALLINE SILICON PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS & MODULES) Anti-Dumping Duties (ADD) apply to certain commodities from certain countries when the U.S. Department of Commerce rules that the commodity is being sold to U.S. importers for less than fair market value. If your commodity is subject to an existing Anti-Dumping order, you are required to provide a statement of non-reimbursement which asserts that you have not entered into an agreement to be reimbursed for any ADD paid. Anti-Dumping Duty Criteria All solar cells, whether or not partially or fully assembled into other products, including, but not limited to, modules, laminates, panels, and building integrated materials which were: Completely or partially manufactured within People s Republic of China; or Manufactured outside People s Republic of China, but using ingots (blocks of metal) or wafers manufactured in People s Republic of China; or Manufactured partially in People s Republic of China, yet completed in a non-subject* country. *A non-subject country is any country not subject to this ADD ruling. Exclusion Criteria Solar cells and products with solar cells manufactured in China which are not subject to this anti-dumping case must comply with one of the following criteria in order to be excluded. If they do not, ADD will apply. Solar cells of thickness less than 20 micrometers (.7874 mils) Thin film products produced from amorphous silicon (a-si), cadmium telluride (CdTe), or copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS). Solar cells not exceeding 10,000mm 2 (15.5 inches 2 ) in surface area which are integrated into a consumer good. Where more than one cell is permanently integrated, the surface area for exclusion must be the combined surface area of all integrated cells. Importer & Non-U.S. Exporter Instructions Using the criteria above, determine whether the goods(s) in your shipment are subject or not subject to ADD and complete the documents that best represent your good(s). A. Subject to Anti-Dumping Duty If your good(s) are subject to ADD, only follow these three steps: 2) Go to Page 5 and complete the Reimbursement Statement, including signature 3) Send both completed forms to DHL Express via > Clearance On Demand Page 1

2 B. Not Subject to Anti-Dumping Duty If your good(s) are not subject to ADD, choose one of the following options that best describes your good(s) and complete only those steps: a) If the good(s) were only exported from People s Republic of China, please produce or complete: 2) Go to Page 4 and complete the Importer Certification, including signature 3) Go to Page 6 and complete the Exporter Certification 4) Send the three completed forms to DHL Express via > Clearance On Demand b) Or, if the good(s) country of manufacture is the reason, complete: 2) Go to Page 4 and complete the Importer Certification, including signature 3) Send both completed forms to DHL Express via > Clearance On Demand c) Or, if the good(s) size, thickness or material made from are the reason, please complete: 2) Send the completed form to DHL Express > Clearance On Demand Page 2
