U.S. Said to Set Duties as High as 73% on Chinese Towers

The U.S. Commerce Department set tariffs of as much as 73 percent on imports of wind towers from China and as much as 60 percent on similar products made in Vietnam, people familiar with the decision said.

The agency today made preliminary findings in its investigation of whether producers in the Asian nations are selling utility-scale wind towers in the U.S. below production costs, according to people who declined to be identified before the agency announces the decision.
