In June, the import volume of polysilicon reached 14,816 tons, a record high.

In the first half of 2017, the cumulative import of polysilicon reached 72,832 tons, an increase of 2.7% year-on-year, and the monthly average import volume was 12,139 tons. In the first half of the year, the monthly import volume was maintained at more than 10,000 tons, of which the import volume reached a record high of 14,816 tons in June. Increased by 18.0%, an increase of 22.9%. By country: In the first half of the year, imports from South Korea were 34,848 tons, accounting for 47.8% of total imports; imports from Germany were 21,528 tons, accounting for 29.6% of total imports; imports from the United States were 4,466 tons. , accounting for 6.1%.
It is worth noting that there are three points: First, imports from South Korea remain at the top. In June, imports from South Korea were 7,808 tons, accounting for 52.7% of the total imports, more than half of the two consecutive months. In the first half of the year, the total import volume from South Korea reached 34,848 tons, accounting for 47.8% of the total imports. In June, imports from South Korea increased by 13.1% from the previous month. On the one hand, China’s 630 PV subsidy policy stimulated the terminal installation and increased the demand for silicon materials. On the other hand, China’s review of South Korea’s final review was in the near future. The amount of polysilicon exported to China during the investigation period did not affect the final result, so the amount of polysilicon imported from South Korea remained high. Second, Germany’s imports rank second. In June, 3,666 tons of polysilicon was imported from Germany, an increase of 18.6% from the previous month, accounting for 24.8% of the total imports. Among them, the amount of domestic imports through processing trade was 1,656 tons, accounting for nearly half of the total, and the import volume in the processing trade through bonded warehouses. The proportion reached 99.2%. Imports from Germany increased in June, mainly due to the stimulation of Chinese market demand, and imports from Germany still ranked second in terms of imports. Third, imports from the United States in the bonded area are not reduced. In June, 745 tons of polysilicon was imported from the United States, accounting for 5.0%. Among them, imports by processing trade still accounted for 86.1%, and 83.7% of processing trade imports were imported into the country through bonded warehouses, directly evading relative High punitive tariffs.
