    T1 Energy announces Commerce waiver to import up to 1.725 GW of solar cells ahead of Section 232 tariffs

    T1 Energy, a Texas-based module maker, announced it received a Department of Commerce waiver allowing it to import up to 1.725 GW of solar cells for its module assembly operations in Wilmer, Texas, without penalty for stockpiling under the Section 232 tariffs that take effect December 4, 2026, when polysilicon and silicon-based solar products become subject to a 15% tariff alongside minimum import prices. Ahead of that date, Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security issued an emergency rule setting criteria for evidence of stockpiling, import prohibition penalties for noncompliance and a process for companies to obtain a waiver.

    China wafer prices hold steady as BIS stockpiling rule curbs U.S.-bound demand

    China's N-type M10 and 210R wafer FOB prices were unchanged week on week at $0.149/pc and $0.153/pc, per the OPIS Global Solar Markets Report released Oct. 6, with wafer inventories estimated at around 25 GW. A temporary final rule issued in late September by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security restricts stockpiling of polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives ahead of Section 232 import adjustments taking effect Dec. 4, 2026, covering imports during the transition period from Sept. 22 to Dec. 3.

    BIS issues temporary final rule on polysilicon stockpiling under Proclamation 11052

    BIS issued a temporary final rule, effective September 22, 2026 through December 3, 2026, setting the criteria and process it will use to monitor existing companies for evidence of stockpiling polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives ahead of import adjustments effective December 4, 2026 under Proclamation 11052. The rule limits a newly established importer's ability to stockpile, imposes import limitations on new importers that register with CBP on or after August 6, 2026, and subjects companies found to be stockpiling to an import prohibition if necessary. It also establishes the process for such companies to obtain a waiver from any import prohibitions imposed under the rule.
