Trade duties on Chinese modules and cells have been approved by the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT).
The tribunal found that there was a threat to the domestic solar industry but did not find evidence that they had “caused injury” to the sector thus far.
In March this year the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced preliminary duties on Chinese manufacturers ranging from 9.1% to 286.1%.
The duties attributed then were as follows:
-Canadian Solar 174.2%
-Trina Solar: 126.5%
-Hanwha SolarOne 103.3%-JA Solar 50.6%
-Jinko Solar 111.8%
-ReneSola 9.14%
-Wuxi Taichen 27.7%
-Wuxi Suntech 202.5%
-Zhejang Jinko Solar 115.9%
-All other exporters 286.1%These duties can still be changed with any difference in duties collected since March being refunded.
The CBSA has not indicated whether there will be amendments to the existing rates.
The original complaint was raised in 2014 by four companies, Eclipsall, Heliene, Silfab and Solgate.

Having ruled on Friday, July 3, that "dumping and subsidization is threatening to injure the domestic Canadian industry," the CITT has announced final anti-dumping tariffs for a number of Chinese solar PV companies. The duties will be in effect for a period of five years, starting now.
Affected by the ruling are Chinese crystalline and thin film solar PV products with a power output not exceeding 100 W. An exception has been made to 195 W monocrystalline photovoltaic modules, comprised of 72 monocrystalline cells, if each cell is no more than 5 inches in width and height.
An investigation was initiated by the President of the Canada Border Services Agency on December 5, 2014, following a complaint alleging injurious dumping and subsidizing on October 1 by Eclipsall Manufacturing Corp., Heliene Inc., Silfab Solar Inc. and Solgate Inc. Provisional duties were then imposed in March 2015.
statement of reasons from the latest July 3 ruling is set to be issued within 15 days. pv magazine has contacted the affected companies for comment.
Canadian Solar responded, saying the decision will not affect its Canadian business. "As we have a module factory in Canada, with 500 MW production capacity per year, most of our modules supplied to Canada markets are produced locally," said the spokesperson.
