CBP Revises Guidance on Bifacial Solar Panel Safeguard Exemption

CBP updated its guidance related to a recent proclamation amending safeguard duties on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells to reflect a court order blocking the elimination of an exemption for bifacial panels (see 2010130028). “Until further notice, CBP will not enforce the revocation of the exclusion of bifacial solar panels from the Section 201 safeguard measure,” it said in the Oct. 28 CSMS message. The International Trade Commission on Oct. 26 updated the tariff schedule to restore the exemption (see 2010270053).
