According to the US International Trade Commission (USITC) media release (https://www.usitc.gov/press_room/news_release/2021/er1124ll1852.htm), the USITC has determined that Section 201 tariffs should continue in order to “prevent or remedy serious injury to the U.S. industry” producing crystalline silicon PV cells.

After the USITC prepares a report – the USITC will then send the report to President Biden. The President then will make the decision whether to continue the Section 201 duties sometime after December 8th.

The Section 201 tariffs of 18% are imposed on all solar modules imported into the United States that don’t meet an exemption. If the tariffs are not extended by the Biden administration, the tariffs on solar modules will drop to 0% in February 2020.
