According to foreign media reports, South Korean photovoltaic manufacturer Hanwha Solutions (hereinafter referred to as "Hanwha") imported photovoltaic cells to the United States has been detained in Long Beach Port, California, since mid-June, on the grounds that its products are suspected of using silicon materials from Xinjiang, China.

According to foreign media reports, photovoltaic cells imported to the United States by Korean photovoltaic manufacturer Hanwha Solutions (hereinafter referred to as "Hanwha") have been detained in Long Beach, California, since mid-June. The reason for the seizure was that its products were suspected of using silicon materials from Xinjiang, China.

For the above incident, Han Hua has confirmed to the media. However, the company did not disclose specific information about the detained products.

According to data from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the agency has detained seven batches of goods imported from South Korea since June, with a total value of $3.37 million. Such products mainly include solar cells and modules . This is the first time that electronic products from South Korea have been detained since the implementation of the Xinjiang-related bill in the United States.

Hanwha said that the seized photovoltaic cell products did not use polysilicon materials from Xinjiang, China. The company refuted any speculation by CBP and hoped to resolve the seizure as soon as possible.

"None of the products in our latest supply chain come from China." Scott Moskowitz, Hanwha's vice president of market strategy and industry affairs, said the company was working with CBP to document and identify the source of the batteries and expected the issue to be resolved "soon.".

It is reported that Hanwha's batteries exported to the United States come from the company's factories in Korea and Malaysia.

Earlier, in July 2024, Maxeon, a subsidiary of TCL Central Holdings, was detained by CBP for exporting photovoltaic modules from Mexico to the United States . The reason is to examine whether Maxeon's products comply with the provisions of the so-called Xinjiang-related Act of the United States. Until April this year, Maxeon said that the detained PV modules had not yet been released (for details, please click: continue to detain! Maxeon PV Modules Still Not Released by US Customs! )。

Pacific Cement announced on the 28th that it would acquire assets such as California Ready-Mixed Concrete Plant from Vulcan Company of the United States for $712 million (about 100 billion yen), the largest acquisition in its history. It is planned to be completed in December 2025, with sales of about $520 million in fiscal year 2024. After the acquisition, there will be 110 ready-mixed concrete factories in the United States, which can be expanded to northern California. Demand for infrastructure and housing in the United States is booming, while the domestic cement market in Japan is shrinking, so the company takes this opportunity to improve its profitability in the U.S. market, and says the acquisition has nothing to do with Trump's visit to Japan.
