Turkey initiates anti-circumvention probe into solar panels from Vietnam
VOV.VN - The Turkish Ministry of Trade’s Directorate General of Imports (DGI) has recently initiated an anti-circumvention investigation into solar panels originating from Croatia, Jordan, Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam, according to the Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam (TRAV).
These countries are alleged to have evaded trade defence duties on solar panels which are currently being applied to China.
Specifically, the solar panels subject to investigation are photovoltaic cells which are assembled in a module or arranged in panels. They are collectively known as solar batteries and are classified according to HS code 8541.43.00.00.00.
The investigation was based on a petition filed by GÜNDER-Uluslararası Güneş Enerjisi Topluluğu Türkiye Bölümü.
The date of issuing a notice of initiation and Investigation Questionnaires was on November 29, while the deadline for submitting the Investigation Questionnaires will be 37 days from the date of issuing the notice.
To ensure the legitimate rights and interests of Vietnamese businesses, the TRAV recommends that related manufacturers and exporters proactively cooperate with the DGI throughout the investigation of the case.
Furthermore, local businesses are required to carefully study the content of DGI's notice and Investigation Questionnaires in order to comply with the DGI's requirements while regularly keeping contact with TRAV to get timely support.
