U.S. Raises Tariffs on Solar-Gear Imports from China, Group Says

Bloomberg News

The U.S. Commerce Department determined that Chinese solar-product imports should be subject to additional tariffs to offset government subsidies, according to a group for companies manufacturing in the U.S.  

The agency, which on May 17 announced anti-dumping duties as high as 250 percent on imports from China, found additional state subsidies benefiting the nation’s producers, the Coalition for American Solar Manufacturing, led by SolarWorld AG (SWV), said yesterday in a statement.
