According to foreign media reports, The photovoltaic cells of Hanwha Solutions (hereinafter referred to as "Hanwha"), a Korean photovoltaic manufacturer, which were previously seized by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), have been released .
Hanwha spokeswoman Marta Stoepke confirmed the news.
It is understood that the detained Hanhua photovoltaic cells are produced in its factories in Korea and Malaysia . It will be shipped to its component plant in Georgia, USA. In early
August, it was reported that Hanwha's photovoltaic cells shipped to the United States had been seized by CBP since mid-June. Although the company did not issue an official statement, it subsequently confirmed the rumors to the media , but did not disclose the specific information of the detained products.
According to media reports at the time, Hanwha's photovoltaic cells shipped to the United States were detained because its products were suspected of using silicon materials from Xinjiang, China. PV-magazine reported that this is the first time since the implementation of UFLPA that electronic products
from South Korea have been seized . Hanwha denied the use of silicon materials from Xinjiang, China. "All products in our latest supply chain are not from China." Scott Moskowitz, vice president of market strategy and industry affairs of Hanwha, said.

On August 19, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a statement that it had listed steel, copper, lithium, caustic soda and jujube as UFLPA key industries. Meanwhile, the statement showed that as of August 1, CBP had intercepted more than 16,700 shipments worth nearly $37 billion for UFLPA review, of which more than 10,000 shipments worth nearly $900 million were refused release.
