Turkey’s anti-dumping investigation into PV glass imports from China, Malaysia, and Vietnam

Background

On June 19, 2026, Türkiye’s Ministry of Trade issued Communiqué No. 2026/10, initiating an anti-dumping (AD) investigation into PV glass (Turkish: solar cam) originating from China, Malaysia, and Vietnam, following an application by Turkish producers. The dumping investigation period runs from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025, while the injury investigation period covers January 1, 2022, to September 30, 2025. The products under investigation fall under Turkish customs codes 70.06 and 70.07. The communiqué took effect upon publication.
 

Overview: Anti-dumping investigation

The AD investigation remains at an early stage, with Türkiye’s Ministry of Trade still examining the case and interested parties expected to submit supporting materials.

Based on Türkiye’s AD investigation procedures, the case is estimated to take 12–18 months to reach final determination. However, companies should closely monitor the potential provisional AD duties.
 

InfoLink analysis

• The AD investigation is likely to result in the imposition of duties. Türkiye has repeatedly imposed trade barriers on PV modules and cells, and initiated AD investigations into junction boxes and aluminum frames from China in 2025. The latest investigation on PV glass from China, Malaysia, and Vietnam indicates Türkiye’s growing focus on protecting its domestic PV industry and tightening trade barriers.

• As global PV competition intensifies, trade barriers such as AD/CVD measures and localization requirements continue to escalate, creating greater challenges for foreign trade and global expansion in the PV BOM sector. Rising volatility in upstream raw material prices further adds cost uncertainty for buyers.
