The positive effect of US tariffs and certification policies on the export of photovoltaic products

  • February 12, 2025 | AmensolarEss
  • The US tariff policy and certification system have brought both challenges and opportunities to the export business of photovoltaic products. In recent years, the United States has imposed tariff barriers on imported photovoltaic products, such as the "201 clause" and the "Anti-dumping and Countervailing Duties" (AD/CVD), which have increased the export costs of companies in China and other countries. However, this has also prompted companies to circumvent tariffs and improve their competitiveness by optimizing the supply chain and adjusting production layout (such as setting up factories in Southeast Asia).

    On the other hand, although the strict US product certification system (such as UL, IEC, NEC, etc.) has increased the certification costs and cycles of companies, it has helped export companies improve product quality and enhance global competitiveness. By obtaining authoritative certification, companies can not only enter the US market, but also improve their brand reputation and expand their business globally.
