China Solar Cells: Commerce Intends to Assign Neo Solar High China-Wide Rate After Del Solar Merger

The Commerce Department intends to assign Neo Solar the 238.95 percent cash deposit rate in effect for the China-wide entity under the antidumping duty order on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from China (A-570-979), it said in the preliminary results of a changed circumstances review (here). Though Neo Solar said it is the successor-in-interest to Del Solar Taiwan following a recent merger, and should get Del Solar’s lower rate, Commerce found the merger involved significant changes to Del Solar’s operations, and resulted in the creation of a new entity.
