U.S. Department of Commerce Completes Review of Wind Tower Imports from Indonesia
Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes
The U.S. Department of Commerce has completed its review of utility scale wind towers imported from Indonesia. The review covered the period between August 1, 2023, and July 31, 2024. The Department found that Indonesian wind towers were being sold in the United States at fair prices. This means they were not sold at less than their normal value.
The review focused on PT. Kenertec Power System (Kenertec), a major producer of these wind towers. After reviewing all data and comments from involved parties, the Department confirmed that Kenertec did not engage in unfair pricing practices. As a result, Kenertec’s products will not face additional duties from the U.S.
The final results of this review were set to be published on August 13, 2026. The Department’s decision comes after examining several comments and making necessary changes to the initial calculations. The changes ensured accuracy and fairness in determining the duties on Kenertec’s wind towers.
The Department will inform U.S. Customs and Border Protection about this decision. This will help guide the agency in handling entries of wind towers from Indonesia. As Kenertec was found to have a zero percent dumping margin, these entries will not be subject to additional duties.
Importers need to ensure that they comply with regulations and confirm no reimbursement of duties has occurred. This will prevent the assessment of extra duties on their products.
Lastly, cash deposit rates for these products will reflect the Department’s final decision. Rates can differ based on whether the companies or products were covered in previous reviews. However, for all other products not specified, a standard rate of 8.53 percent will still apply. This standard rate remains effective unless future reviews dictate otherwise.
This conclusion helps to maintain fair trade practices and supports the smooth operation of the wind tower industry between the U.S. and Indonesia.
