US probes Waaree Energies for possible evasion of solar tariffs

U.S. customs officials said on Thursday they were investigating whether Indian solar company Waaree Energies sidestepped U.S. tariffs on Chinese-made cells and panels by labeling them as made in India.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection revealed the probe in a memo to attorneys for Waaree and the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee, a coalition of domestic solar manufacturers that requested the investigation in letters to the agency earlier this year.
