US Commerce Dept finalizes tariff rates on solar goods from Southeast Asia

April 21 (Reuters) - U.S. trade officials finalized tariff levels on solar cells and panels from Southeast Asia, a key step toward wrapping up a year-old trade case brought by American manufacturers that accuse their overseas rivals of flooding the market with unfairly cheap goods.

According to a decision posted on the U.S. Commerce Department's website on Monday, the agency calculated dumping duties of 6.1% to 271.28%, depending on the company and country. Anti-subsidy countervailing duties were between 14.64% and 3,403.96%. The case applies to solar cells imported from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.
