US to Impose 15% Tariff and Price Floors on Polysilicon Imports to Protect Domestic Industry
The Trump administration plans to impose a 15% tariff and establish minimum import prices on polysilicon and related solar products to protect US manufacturers and reduce China's dominance in the global solar supply chain. The measures, expected to be announced soon, target polysilicon, wafers, solar cells, and modules. This hybrid trade protection aims to support domestic production amid growing competition from Chinese manufacturers, who currently lead much of the solar industry.
