Polysilicon suppliers making efforts to minimize impact of China anti-dumping, anti-subsidy tariffs
Nuying Huang, Taipei; Jackie Chang, DIGITIMES [Thursday 31 January 2013]
As the China government is likely to decide on anti-dumping and anti-subsidy tariffs against polysilicon imported from makers in the US, Europe and South Korea, some polysilicon makers have had company executives visit China to talk with government officials in a bid to minimize possible rates, according to industry sources.
Solar makers noted that the China government knows that levying tariff on imported polysilicon will negatively affect downstream solar firms, and so has reportedly decided to levy different tariffs by firm, not by country.
Some reports have stated that levying tariffs on imported polysilicon will negatively impact China-based downstream firms more than benefit domestic polysilicon makers, hence it is likely that China will not follow through with punitive tariffs.
However, China-based and international makers believe the China government will likely use the investigation as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the EU to help domestic solar makers that are currently subject to the EU's anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigation.
Demnach wird erneut postuliert, dass der Schaden für chinesische Zellproduzenten größer wäre, als der Nutzen für die chinesischen Poly-Produzenten, wenn den Strafzölle kämen. Es ist eher anzunehmen, dass die Zölle als Verhandlungsgewicht in der Waagschale herhalten sollen, wenn es um Europäische Zölle gegen Chinesische PV-Produzenten geht....
