PVTIME – Maxeon Solar Technologies (NASDAQ: MAXN), a global leader in solar innovation and channels, announced that Maxeon solar panels are being detained and excluded from being imported from its Mexico manufacturing facilities into the U.S. market. Despite having provided CBP officials with detailed traceability documents, CBP reviewers have alleged a lack of sufficient documentation to prove Maxeon’s compliance with the UFLPA. The Company refutes this, having provided clear and objective evidence to the contrary.
Maxeon’s outgoing CEO Bill Mulligan said that as an ethical solar company, Maxeon opposes the use of forced labour in the production of its products. In the last 20 years, Maxeon has spent millions on making sure our supply chain is clean and traceable. CBP found no evidence of non-compliance. The CBP has decided to bar Maxeon products from the Partnership track. Maxeon supports the UFLPA and has given the CBP lots of documents, including explanations of our standard manufacturing and shipping processes. None of its supply chains involve entities on the UFLPA list.ew team will be able to expeditiously reach the right conclusion and clear our products for importation.”
