The Chinese-dominated solar industry has come under increased pressure lately, with tariffs raised on May 14, a two-year moratorium on dumping duties ending on Thursday, and the U.S. International Trade Commission voting 4-0 to initiate a new solar trade case on Friday.

The laws have not changed to make duty-free de minimis shipping any more difficult, but U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is starting to get proactive.
