Commerce has included extruded solar panel racking rails within the group of products affected by these impending import duties. This includes imported aluminum solar panel mounting systems, which fall into the subassembly category within these duties, and solar tracker assemblies.
A notable pivot in policy is the imminent removal of the bifacial module exclusion under Section 201. Bifacial solar panels, which are predominantly used in utility-scale projects, have enjoyed an exclusion from safeguard tariffs.
They do not have to be paid on cells and modules that are already subject to separate "anti-circumvention" duties on equipment that Commerce found in an earlier Auxin investigation is being manufactured in southeast Asia using Chinese parts to avoid high tariffs on solar equipment manufactured wholly in China.
The countervailing and anti-dumping duties are in response to a petition that a group of seven solar panel manufacturers called the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee filed with the US government in April 2024.

Introduction On July 17, 2025, the Alliance for American Solar Manufacturing and Trade, representing domestic manufacturers, filed petitions with the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) and the U.S.
The Biden administration continues to navigate the intricate course between fostering domestic solar manufacturing and countering perceived unfair trade practices by China.
In June 2024, the U.S. International Trade Commission found that imports of c-Si cells and modules from Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, and Cambodia may be harming the U.S. solar panel
