Canada
is set to follow in the footsteps of the U.S. and the European Union in
imposing anti-dumping (AD) tariffs on solar modules produced
in China.
The
country’s CBSA announced over the weekend that it has begun investigations into
allegations that Chinese solar companies have imported dumped and subsidized solar modules and
laminates into Canada.
Four
Canadian companies, all based in the province of Ontario, have made official
complaints to the CBSA about their AD concerns. The complainants are Eclipsall
Energy Corporation, Heliene, Silfab Ontario and Solgate.
The
investigations will draw on responses gleaned from today’s anti-subsidy case
held at the International Trade Commission (ITC) in Washington, which will sit
this week to assess potential anti-dumping measures that the U.S. Department of
Commerce may seek to impose on Chinese suppliers.
While
the U.S. ruling – due mid-January – could have far-reaching effects on China’s
solar industry, Canada’s investigations will be of relatively little concern,
said a leading analyst in China.
"We
do not treat this as a serious threat," Meng Xian’gan, deputy director of the
China Renewable Energy Society, told local press in China. "The makor markets
now for solar
products around the world are Japan, the U.S. and China. The Canadian market is
a small one.
"We
have been through this with the EU and the U.S. It actually highlights the
competitiveness and status of Chinese solar products on the world
stage," Xian’gan added.
