The Solar Energy Manufacturers for America (SEMA) Coalition supports the United States Trade Representative’s (USTR’s) effort to encourage our trading partners to put in place prohibitions on the importation of goods produced with forced labor. The U.S. has been an international leader in imposing mandatory restrictions on the importation of goods made with forced labor. Foreign nations should adopt the U.S. approach to establish a rebuttable presumption that goods, including polysilicon, made in, or connected to, the Xinjiang region in China, are made with forced labor.
