U.S. Customs and Border Protection has seized 1,053 shipments of solar energy equipment between June 21, when the Uyghur Forced Labor Protection Act went into effect, and Oct. 25, it told Reuters in response to a public records request, adding none of the shipments have yet been released.
A 40% charge will be imposed on solar modules, while cells will attract a 25% charge. According to the ministry, already bid out projects will not see any charges.
