The Trump Administration in the US has set in motion plans to repeal the exemption for bifacial panels within Section 201 trade tariffs, while also increasing the proposed tariff from 15% to 18% from next year.
The White House has also raised the prospect of extending measures beyond their existing four-year timeframe.
The plans, laid out within a Presidential Proclamation issued over the weekend, will see the US Trade Representative (USTR) request the US International Trade Commission conduct an investigation to determine whether or not existing measures remain satisfactory in protecting the domestic manufacture of solar products in the US.
