According to the Turkish General Directorate of Imports (DGI), as of September 27, Turkey has imposed a tariff of $25 per square meter on photovoltaic modules imported from Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Croatia, and Jordan. However, tariff exemptions have been granted to JinkoSolar’s Malaysian subsidiary, JA Solar’s Vietnamese subsidiary, Trina Solar’s Thai subsidiary, and Vina Solar, a Vietnamese module manufacturer acquired by Longi Green Energy a few years ago.

On November 25, 2023, Turkey's Ministry of Trade announced that, at the request of Turkish companies, it had launched an anti-circumvention investigation into photovoltaic modules originating from China. The investigation seeks to determine whether Chinese products are being exported to Turkey via Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Croatia, and Jordan to evade anti-dumping duties.

Turkey suspects that some companies from these five countries are using “transshipment” to circumvent the previously imposed $20 per square meter countervailing duty on Chinese photovoltaic products. After months of review, the Turkish government decided in March this year to impose a new tariff of $25 per square meter on photovoltaic products imported from these countries, a 25% increase over the previous tariff.
