Overview
China is keeping a long-running trade barrier in place for a key solar supply-chain input. After a review initiated in early 2025, China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) has decided to extend anti-dumping duties first imposed in 2014 on imports of solar-grade silicon (polysilicon) from the United States and South Korea, maintaining the measure for another five years.

Why now
- MOFCOM concluded a review process launched in January 2025.
- The original anti-dumping duties date back to 2014 and were up for continuation.
Why it matters
- Extends trade restrictions affecting a core PV input (solar-grade silicon).
- Sets multi-year duty levels for U.S. and South Korean exporters into China.
- Signals continued policy sensitivity around polysilicon import pricing.

Recurring claims
- MOFCOM extended anti-dumping duties on solar-grade silicon imports from the United States and South Korea for a further five years.
- Duty ranges cited: 53.3% to 57% for U.S. producers and 2.4% to 48.7% for South Korean companies.
- MOFCOM launched a review of the duties in January 2025 after 13 Chinese companies, led by Sichuan Yongxiang Polysilicon, requested it.
