China continues anti-dumping duties on solar-grade polysilicon

China has announced that starting January 14, it will continue imposing anti-dumping duties for another five years on solar-grade polysilicon imported from the United States and South Korea.

What this means:

• The decision reinforces China’s protection of its domestic upstream solar material industry
• U.S. and Korean polysilicon exporters will continue facing cost pressure when accessing the China market
• Global solar supply chains may see further regionalization, with sourcing and processing increasingly concentrated within Asia

From a logistics and trade perspective, policies like this highlight how tariffs and anti-dumping measures can reshape cargo flows, supplier choices, and landed costs, especially in strategic industries such as renewable energy.

For companies involved in solar equipment, energy materials, or related manufacturing, it’s important to reassess sourcing strategies and cross-border trade routes under the new policy cycle.

We continue to monitor trade policy developments and their impact on international logistics and supply chains.
