Who's affected: The notice names certain TOPCon solar cells, modules, panels, components thereof, and products containing the same. It does not specify HTS chapters, codes, or countries of origin in the text provided. Importers of TOPCon solar products may want to monitor this investigation, since Section 337 proceedings can lead to exclusion or cease-and-desist orders affecting future imports.
