China: Column 1 rate + 12.5% additional
8-digit subheading 8541.42.00 is on FYR-SOLAR
General (all other countries) | Photosensitive semiconductor devices ... Photovoltaic cells not assembled in modules or made up into panels: other than provided for in 8541.42.0010
Cash deposits follow the company-specific rate (ACE case module). Coverage depends on each order's scope. The table below lists case numbers, status and the all-others rate. The all-others deposit rate is counted in the maximum exposure, not in the confirmed total.
| Case | Type | Product | Status | All-others rate | Deposit status | Determination |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| China solar cell orders (2012) · AD 238.95% + CVD 15.24% = 254.19% counted in the maximum Scope: Covers cells produced in China, wherever they are assembled into modules. | ||||||

Which order applies: start from where the cell was produced. China → China solar cell orders (2012). Taiwan → Taiwan solar order. Cambodia / Malaysia / Thailand / Vietnam → that country's solar orders. India / Indonesia / Laos → that country's solar investigation. Modules assembled in China from non-Chinese cells → China solar products orders (2015). Where the module is assembled generally does not change the answer.
Open question: a module assembled in China from Taiwanese, Cambodian, Malaysian, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Indonesian or Lao cells may, on the wording, fall under both the China solar products orders (2015) and the orders on the cell country. CBP practice has not been confirmed. TBD
No ACE PGA flag on this line (requirements without a flag, such as FCC, DOE, SIMA and marking, still apply).

Period 2026-10-01 – 2027-09-30 · 91 FR 48398 (2026-07-31, Doc. 2026-15530, FY2027)
Chinese origin: the UFLPA presumption is triggered through the supply chain (Xinjiang inputs / Entity List), not by country of origin; the origins with the most CBP denials are MY / VN / TH.
Chinese origin + priority sector: prepare applicability-review / exception-request documentation | Statutory high-priority sector. Hoshine is listed under section (i), so Hoshine silicon at any tier triggers the presumption. Trace quartz → metallurgical silicon → polysilicon → ingot → wafer → cell → module.
Hoshine Silicon Industry Co. + subsidiaries | Superseded by the UFLPA process (handled under the presumption) | status: superseded-uflpa
From 2026-09-22 to 12-03 Commerce, with CBP, monitors polysilicon and derivative imports by importer of record (aggregate and weekly average since 2026-08-06 vs the 2026-01-01 to 08-06 and 2025 weekly averages, and use of affiliates that do not customarily import or of new IORs). An IOR found stockpiling, once notified by CBP, may not enter such goods for consumption before 2026-12-04 (bonded warehouse allowed); IORs registered on or after 2026-08-06 are limited per week to 12 kg of 2804.61.00, 7 kg of 3818.00.0020/.0040/.0045/.0050/.0091, 2,000 units of 8541.42.00 and 55 units of 8541.43.00. Waivers may be requested from Polysilicon232@bis.doc.gov (form at bis.gov/232), Commerce responds within 14 days.
