India's Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) issued final findings on 29 September 2025 (signed 30 September) recommending three-year definitive anti-dumping duties of 0–30% on solar cells and photovoltaic modules originating from China, following a determination that China exported at dumping margins of 105–115% causing material injury to India's domestic solar manufacturing industry. Duty tiers are differentiated by cooperating-producer status: 0% for Jinko Solar and Trina Solar (sampled/full-cooperation), 23% for Aiko Solar and 18 cooperating non-sampled producers, and 30% residual for all other Chinese producers. The CBIC/Ministry of Finance issues the operative Gazette of India Extraordinary notification within ~30–60 days; this action records the DGTR recommendation date as the effective-process anchor.

Brazil's Foreign Trade Chamber executive committee (GECEX) issued Resolution No. 782 on 28 August 2025, published in the Diário Oficial da União on 29 August 2025, revoking six Ex-Tarifário reduced-duty exemptions across two tariff regimes. One capital-goods line (NCM 8479.89.99, Ex 919, under Annex I of Resolution 322/2022) and five IT/telecommunications-classified solar-module lines (NCM 8541.43.00, Ex 154, 996, 997, 998 and 999, covering heterojunction/HJT photovoltaic modules under Annex II of Resolution 323/2022) lose their duty relief and revert to Brazil's standard Mercosur Common External Tariff rate. The resolution took effect 60 days after publication (28 October 2025), earlier than the exemptions' original scheduled expiry of 31 December 2025. Global Trade Alert classifies the measure as a "Red" (trade-restrictive) import-tariff intervention.

China's Ministry of Commerce issued Announcement 2025 No. 3 on 9 January 2025, the Final Determination of its Trade and Investment Barrier (TIB) investigation into the European Commission's enforcement practices under the EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR). MOFCOM concluded that EC practices in FSR investigations targeting Chinese enterprises in rail transport, photovoltaics, wind energy, and security-equipment public procurement constitute trade and investment barriers under Article 3 of China's Rules on Trade and Investment Barrier Investigations (对外贸易壁垒调查规则). The determination documents €20.88 billion in estimated economic losses — including €10.18 billion from abandoned bids — and finds de-facto discrimination against Chinese SOEs relative to investors from other jurisdictions. MOFCOM committed to taking "necessary measures" including bilateral consultations, multilateral dispute settlement, or "other appropriate measures" to safeguard Chinese enterprises' legitimate rights and interests.
