U.S. Court Reopens Solar-Tariff Loophole That Trump Killed

(Bloomberg) — A U.S. trade court has reinstated a tariff exemption on some imported solar panels, a decision that benefits domestic clean-energy developers.

Former President Donald Trump last year eliminated a loophole that exempted double-sided solar panels from import duties, but that “constituted an action outside the president’s delegated authority,” U.S. Court of International Trade Judge Gary Katzmann said in a ruling Tuesday.
