ISTANBUL (AA) - Türkiye announced on Tuesday that it will enforce anti-dumping measures on solar panel imports originating from Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Croatia, and Jordan.
The Turkish Trade Ministry’s communique on the prevention of unfair competition in imports became official with its publication in the Official Gazette.
The communique, which will come into force after seven days, stipulates that imports of solar panels originating from the five countries will be subject to a fee of $25 per square meter.
Türkiye has already applied the same anti-dumping measure to imports of Chinese solar panels.
In the global shift from fossil fuels to renewables, several countries are taking steps to boost domestic solar panel production by implementing import measures.
