On Wednesday, August 5, 2026, the Trump administration announced plans to impose a 15% tariff on polysilicon derivative products. This move follows the conclusion of a Section 232 investigation into foreign imports of polysilicon. According to sources cited by Reuters, the administration intends to unveil the investigation results as soon as Thursday, August 6, 2026. Polysilicon is a key material used in the manufacturing of solar panels and semiconductors.
