U.S. Customs detains $43m Indian electronics under UFLPA, targeting solar panel polysilicon.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has detained $43 million worth of electronics equipment from India since October, under the 2022 Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) targeting goods from China's Xinjiang region.

This increased scrutiny reflects CBP's efforts to broaden their enforcement beyond major China-based solar panel makers.
