#  Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Amended Final Antidumping Duty Determination; Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules From Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Antidumping Duty Orders; Correction

**AGENCY:**

Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.

**ACTION:**

Notice; correction.

**SUMMARY:**

The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) published a notice in the *Federal Register* on June 24, 2025, in which Commerce announced the amended final antidumping duty determination on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules (solar cells) from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam), and antidumping duty orders on solar cells from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. This notice corrects for: (1) the inadvertent omission of the separate scope Appendix, applicable to the antidumping order for Vietnam, and (2) the omission of exclusion language with respect to respondent Hanwha Q Cells Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., applicable to the antidumping order for Malaysia.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

Deborah Cohen (Vietnam), Office III; telephone: (202) 482-4521; Hermes Panilla (Cambodia), Office I; telephone: (202) 482-3477; Stephen Bailey (Thailand), Office IV; telephone: (202) 482-0193; and Patrick Barton (Malaysia), Office III; telephone: (202) 482-0012; AD/CVD Operations, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

**Background**

On June 24, 2025, Commerce published in the *Federal Register* the *Orders* on solar cells from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. [^1]

[^1]*See Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled into Modules from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Amended Final Antidumping Duty Determination; Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules From Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Antidumping Duty Orders,* 90 FR 26786 (June 24, 2025) ( *Orders* ).

In that notice, we identified the products covered by the *Orders* as solar cells from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, for which a complete description was provided in the sole appendix to the notice. The complete scope description contained in the appendix reflected the correct scope of the antidumping duty orders for Cambodia, Malaysia, and Thailand. However, as a result of the prior incorporation of exclusion language specific to the antidumping duty proceeding regarding Vietnam, the final scope of the antidumping duty investigation on solar cells from Vietnam included additional language not reflected in the final scope of the antidumping duty investigations on solar cells from Cambodia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Therefore, the complete scope description referenced in the *Federal Register* notice of the *Orders,* and contained in the appendix thereto, inadvertently omitted a second appendix (and reference thereto) containing distinct scope language applicable to the antidumping duty order on Vietnam.

Further, Commerce inadvertently omitted language that subject merchandise produced and exported by Hanwha Q Cells Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. is excluded from the antidumping duty order on Malaysia in the “Estimated Weighted-Average Margins” and “Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation” sections.

**Correction**

**Correction 1: Vietnam Scope**

In the *Federal Register* of June 24, 2025, in FR Doc 2025-11588, on page 26787, in the first column under the heading “Scope of the Orders,” correct the second sentence to read as follows:

For a complete description of the scope of the orders, *see* Appendix I and Appendix II to this notice.

Further, replace the entirety of the Appendix to FR Doc 2025-11588, which begins in the first column of page 26790 and continues to the second column of page 26791, with the appendices to this notice (Appendix I and Appendix II).

**Correction 2: Malaysia Exclusion**

In the *Federal Register* of June 24, 2025, in FR Doc. 2025-11588 on page 26788, in the third column, correct the “Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits” section to include the following paragraph at the end of that section:

Because the estimated weighted-average dumping margin is zero for subject merchandise produced and exported by Hanwha Q Cells Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., entries of shipments of subject merchandise from this producer/exporter combination are excluded from the antidumping duty order on subject merchandise from Malaysia. This exclusion will not be applicable to merchandise exported to the United States by this respondent in any other producer/exporter combination, or by third parties that sourced subject merchandise from the excluded producer/exporter combination.

Additionally, in the *Federal Register* of June 24, 2025, in FR Doc. 2025-11588 on page 26788, correct the table of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins for Malaysia to include a footnote as follows:

**Malaysia**

[^2] After the final determination, Commerce directed U.S. Customs and Border Protection not to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise produced and exported by Hanwha Q Cells Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. Subject merchandise from this producer/exporter combination is excluded from the antidumping duty order on Malaysia. *See* “Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation” section, *supra.*
