Final U.S. tariffs for Chinese solar-energy equipment makers will be higher than the preliminary levies of as much as 4.73 percent imposed last week, said Gordon Brinser, president of SolarWorld AG’s U.S. unit.

The initial penalty “does not cover the full extent of the harm” caused by Chinese subsidies and unfair product pricing, Brinser said yesterday in an interview in Washington. The decision was “just one of four steps,” he said, though “a good step forward.”
