US applies 15% polysilicon tariff
The United States imposed a 15% tariff on polysilicon products starting in December, along with setting minimum import prices to ensure fair competition for the American manufacturing industry that relies on this strategic material. This move comes after a year-long investigation by the Department of Commerce, which confirmed that polysilicon is crucial for the semiconductor industry and defense applications. Meanwhile, the U.S. share of global production capacity has declined from 50% in 2005 to less than 2% in 2024. The goal of this step is to promote domestic production and reduce dependence on China.
