Recently launched antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on solar cells from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam will continue, after the ITC found a "reasonable indication" of injury to U.S. industry in a preliminary injury determination announced June 7. The ITC preliminarily found actual injury in its AD/CVD investigations on Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as its AD investigation on Cambodia. On the other hand, it preliminarily found a threat of injury for its CVD investigation on Cambodia. If that threat finding is continued in the final determination, the ITC will also decide whether to refund any CVD cash deposits collected on Cambodian cells prior to the issuance of the ITC's final injury determination.
