CBP releases Toyo's detained Ethiopian solar cells as Commerce circumvention inquiry continues

Toyo Co. said CBP released shipments of solar cells made at its factory in Ethiopia after reviewing supply chain documentation covering polysilicon and wafer sourcing; the company did not say how many shipments were released, when, or under which authority they had been held. CBP issued detention notices on May 27 and May 28 for two cell shipments totaling about 0.094 MW and valued at $13,770, which CBP indicated were suspected of being associated with forced labor, and Toyo has not said whether those are the shipments now released.
