Secretary of State Rubio Issues Remarks at President Trump Roundtable on American Mining
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 -- The U.S. State Department issued the following remarks on Aug. 7, 2026, by Secretary Marco Rubio at President Trump's roundtable on American mining:

SECRETARY RUBIO: Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you for coming to the State Department. We like this room a lot, too, and obviously don't look back; there's a painting up here. Just don't - (laughter) - uh-oh.

Thank you for coming to the State Department. We like this room a lot, too, and obviously don't look back; there's a painting up here. Just don't - (laughter) - uh-oh. PRESIDENT TRUMP: (Inaudible.) That's a good one. (Laughter.) I'm taking it with me. SECRETARY RUBIO: That - I shouldn't have said anything. But anyway, Mr. President, thank you for being here. Thank you foryour leadership on this topic. It's a challenge we face in this domain that actually goes to the very survival of the country, and thank you for giving it a priority in your presidency. This has been going on for 25 years. We've been walking away from the importance of this, and now we're trying to make up for 25 or 30 years of mistakes under your presidency. So, we appreciate your presidency valuing this when other presidents did not.
The group of people that are here today represent the whole-of-nation effort that's involved in this. It's - because at the core of this is our industrial strength, but also our national sovereignty - that we never depend on other countries for things we need to prosper and to defend ourselves as a people. And so, you'll see here today, as you've already pointed out, we have leaders not just from government but from universities, from private industry, from students who are going to be the future of this industry.
I wanted to briefly - very briefly - touch on what the State Department's done. Earlier this year we had a Critical Minerals Ministerial. We brought in countries from all over the world to - and announced the creation of something called FORGE, which is an international partnership chaired by us in the United States to leverage public finance and coordinate diplomatic support to secure these supply chains around the world. At that meeting, we signed 11 new critical minerals agreements with countries, adding to the ones that already existed. Today, under your administration, we've already signed 27 critical mineral agreements with other countries.
We also, under the leadership of someone who needs to be recognized, our Under Secretary Jacob Helberg - I don't know if Jacob is here, but Jacob has been phenomenal. He came up with something called Pax Silica, and it's an initiative that leads our efforts to partner with the private sector and invest in mining and refining and in processing as well as the end-use applications of that.
There's still a lot of work left to do, but we at the State Department are willing to utilize our unmatched global presence, our presence all over the world, to ensure that we're working on this. And we're committed to working with industry, with universities, with all the elements of our national power to bring this about. And so, thank you, Mr. President, for prioritizing this, and I think we all look forward to working not just nationally but with our allies around the world to ensure that we have supply chains that are diversified and reliable and no country can ever hold this over our head and threaten us in the future. Thank you.

Thank you for coming to the State Department. We like this room a lot, too, and obviously don't look back; there's a painting up here. Just don't - (laughter) - uh-oh. PRESIDENT TRUMP: (Inaudible.) That's a good one. (Laughter.) I'm taking it with me. SECRETARY RUBIO: That - I shouldn't have said anything. But anyway, Mr. President, thank you for being here. Thank you foryour leadership on this topic. It's a challenge we face in this domain that actually goes to the very survival of the country, and thank you for giving it a priority in your presidency. This has been going on for 25 years. We've been walking away from the importance of this, and now we're trying to make up for 25 or 30 years of mistakes under your presidency. So, we appreciate your presidency valuing this when other presidents did not.
The group of people that are here today represent the whole-of-nation effort that's involved in this. It's - because at the core of this is our industrial strength, but also our national sovereignty - that we never depend on other countries for things we need to prosper and to defend ourselves as a people. And so, you'll see here today, as you've already pointed out, we have leaders not just from government but from universities, from private industry, from students who are going to be the future of this industry.
I wanted to briefly - very briefly - touch on what the State Department's done. Earlier this year we had a Critical Minerals Ministerial. We brought in countries from all over the world to - and announced the creation of something called FORGE, which is an international partnership chaired by us in the United States to leverage public finance and coordinate diplomatic support to secure these supply chains around the world. At that meeting, we signed 11 new critical minerals agreements with countries, adding to the ones that already existed. Today, under your administration, we've already signed 27 critical mineral agreements with other countries.
We also, under the leadership of someone who needs to be recognized, our Under Secretary Jacob Helberg - I don't know if Jacob is here, but Jacob has been phenomenal. He came up with something called Pax Silica, and it's an initiative that leads our efforts to partner with the private sector and invest in mining and refining and in processing as well as the end-use applications of that.
There's still a lot of work left to do, but we at the State Department are willing to utilize our unmatched global presence, our presence all over the world, to ensure that we're working on this. And we're committed to working with industry, with universities, with all the elements of our national power to bring this about. And so, thank you, Mr. President, for prioritizing this, and I think we all look forward to working not just nationally but with our allies around the world to ensure that we have supply chains that are diversified and reliable and no country can ever hold this over our head and threaten us in the future. Thank you.

President Trump Issues Proclamation on Adjusting Imports of Polysilicon and Its Derivatives Into the U.S.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 -- President Trump issued the following proclamation on Aug. 6, 2026:
* * *
ADJUSTING IMPORTS OF POLYSILICON AND ITS DERIVATIVES INTO THE UNITED STATES
1. Polysilicon is the base material underpinning the security of America's semiconductor and solar-power supply chains. Yet for decades, America has allowed foreign countries to weaken United States producers in the polysilicon sector - eroding our economic and national security. Today, I am taking action to put a stop to these practices and revitalize the United States polysilicon sector.

Show Full Article WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 -- President Trump issued the following proclamation on Aug. 6, 2026: * * * ADJUSTING IMPORTS OF POLYSILICON AND ITS DERIVATIVES INTO THE UNITED STATES 1. Polysilicon is the base material underpinning the security of America's semiconductor and solar-power supply chains. Yet for decades, America has allowed foreign countries to weaken United States producers in the polysilicon sector - eroding our economic and national security. Today, I am taking action to put a stop to these practices and revitalize the United States polysilicon sector. 2. These actions are based on adviceand information I received from the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) in a report transmitted to me within the past 90 days detailing the findings of his investigation under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1862 (section 232), into the effects of imports of polysilicon and its derivative products on the national security of the United States. After evaluating the facts considered in that investigation, and taking into account the close relation of the economic welfare of the Nation to our national security, the Secretary found and advised me of his opinion that polysilicon and its derivative products are being imported into the United States in such quantities and under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security of the United States.
3. Among other things, the Secretary found that polysilicon is essential to the national security and economy of the United States. Polysilicon is the base material for semiconductors, which enable all digital products and services and provide the technical foundation for the functioning of virtually every sector of the modern economy, including the defense industrial base. For example, semiconductors are critical inputs for United States defense systems, such as radar and communication systems, electronic warfare and cybersecurity systems, and guidance and control systems for missiles and drones. Without a secure and reliable domestic supply of polysilicon, the United States cannot sufficiently produce semiconductors. Nor can the United States sufficiently scale up its domestic production of semiconductors, as I determined was necessary in Proclamation 11002 of January 14, 2026 (Adjusting Imports of Semiconductors, Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment, and Their Derivative Products Into the United States).
4. The Secretary also found that polysilicon is essential for the production of solar products. Solar-grade polysilicon and its derivative solar products are used to support various United States defense programs and artificial intelligence (AI) innovations.
5. For decades, foreign governments -- recognizing the strategic importance of polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives -- designed policies to increase the production of these products in their countries, which have come at the expense of the United States industry. These policies contributed to global oversupply in polysilicon and polysilicon derivative sectors. As the Secretary found, since 2020 alone, global production of polysilicon has grown by more than 270 percent and inventories reached a record high of 400,000 tons by the end of 2024.
6. The Secretary found that imports of polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives have eroded the capacity of United States industry to produce polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives. The United States' share of global polysilicon production capacity has fallen from 50 percent in 2005 to less than 2 percent in 2024. Meanwhile, the United States' share of global semiconductor wafer fabrication capacity has decreased from 37 percent in 1990 to 10 percent in 2024; and in the solar sector, the United States is virtually entirely dependent on imports of solar ingots, wafers, and cells.
7. The relative lack of United States downstream solar-related polysilicon derivative production is particularly concerning for the long-term commercial viability of the United States polysilicon sector. The Secretary found that, while semiconductor-grade polysilicon was once the primary output of the polysilicon industry, global semiconductor-grade polysilicon now accounts for only 2.4 percent of global polysilicon production. The overwhelming demand for solar-grade polysilicon relative to semiconductor-grade polysilicon means that polysilicon manufacturers are increasingly dependent on the production of lower purity, solar-grade polysilicon to achieve the production volumes necessary to sustain viable unit costs of production for all polysilicon, including semiconductor-grade polysilicon. Without a financially viable market for United States solar-grade polysilicon, United States polysilicon producers cannot thrive and ensure domestic manufacturing of solar- and semiconductor-grade polysilicon and their derivatives that meets United States economic and national security requirements.
8. In light of these findings and the other findings in the Secretary's report, the Secretary recommended a range of actions to adjust imports of polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives so that such imports will not threaten to impair the national security of the United States. The Secretary recommended the establishment of minimum import prices (MIP) for polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives to create a protected domestic market that allows United States producers to compete free from global distortions. The Secretary also recommended that I impose a 15 percent ad valorem rate of duty on downstream polysilicon derivatives. The Secretary recommended that these two remedies be accompanied by an onshoring program to encourage companies to build new United States polysilicon, ingot, wafer, and cell production facilities.
9. After considering the Secretary's report, the factors in section 232(d) (19 U.S.C. 1862(d)), and other relevant factors and information, I concur with the Secretary's finding that polysilicon and its derivative products are being imported into the United States in such quantities and under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security of the United States. In my judgment, and in light of the Secretary's report, the factors in section 232(d) (19 U.S.C. 1862(d)), and other relevant factors and information, I determine that it is necessary and appropriate to adjust imports of these articles and their derivatives, as detailed below, so that such imports will not threaten to impair the national security of the United States.
10. First, I determine that it is necessary and appropriate to establish a MIP program to adjust imports of polysilicon and its derivatives. This will create an economic environment conducive to increasing United States production of the full range of these goods by ensuring a commercially viable market for them. If foreign trading partners that have entered into trade deals with my Administration adopt substantially equivalent import-adjusting action modeled after our MIP, I also authorize the Secretary and the United States Trade Representative (Trade Representative) to enter into arrangements that would alter the applicability of the MIP and the tariffs established in this proclamation to imported polysilicon and derivatives from these trading partners.
11. Second, I determine that it is necessary and appropriate to impose a 15 percent ad valorem rate of duty on imports of polysilicon derivatives so that such imports will not threaten to impair the national security of the United States. These tariffs -- combined with the MIP program -- will promote United States production of polysilicon derivatives by ensuring a commercially viable market for them. They will also replace a similar but narrower safeguard tariff on solar cells and modules that I imposed in my first term, and which expired in February 2026.
12. Third, I determine that it is necessary and appropriate to offer incentives for companies investing in United States production of polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives. The Secretary should have the authority to enter into company-specific deals with producers to incentivize such investments and the strengthening of the United States polysilicon supply chain.
13. In my judgment, based on current circumstances as well as the future needs of the United States, the plan of action detailed in this proclamation is necessary and appropriate to address the threatened impairment of the national security posed by imports of polysilicon and its derivative products. The plan of action in this proclamation will, among other things, help ensure the commercial viability of United States production of polysilicon and its derivatives that is necessary to meet United States economic and national security requirements. It will also enhance employment opportunities and related human resources and promote investment in the United States polysilicon industry.
14. Section 232 authorizes the President to take action to adjust the imports of an article and its derivatives that are being imported into the United States in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security so that such imports will not threaten to impair the national security.
15. Section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483) (section 604), authorizes the President to embody in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) the substance of statutes affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder, including the removal, modification, continuance, or imposition of any rate of duty or other import restriction.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including section 232; section 604; and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, do hereby proclaim as follows:
(1)(a) The applicable minimum import prices for imported polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives shall be:
(i) $21 per kilogram for polysilicon;
(ii) $100 per kilogram for polysilicon ingots and wafers;
(iii) $0.22 per watt for solar cells; and
(iv) $0.38 per watt for solar modules.
(b) The Secretary is authorized to adjust these minimum import prices from time to time to reflect market conditions or other factors affecting the fair market value of covered products under non-distorted, free-market conditions.
(2) Effective with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern time on December 4, 2026, imports of polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives specified in Annexes I and II to the proclamation shall be subject to the MIP program, as detailed in this clause.
(a) To implement the MIP program, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall permit importers of polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives to submit documentation at entry establishing or certifying either that any first arm's-length sale of the imported merchandise (or, if applicable, downstream products made from that merchandise) in the United States will occur at or above the applicable MIP, or that any first arm's-length sale of the imported merchandise is pursuant to fixed terms in a contract entered into prior to the date of the signing of this proclamation.
(b) If an importer fails to submit the documentation referenced in subclause (a) of this clause, the imported merchandise shall be subject to a specific tariff equal to the applicable MIP.
(c) For importers that submit the documentation referenced in subclause (a) of this clause, in the event that the entered value on the entry summary of the imported merchandise is less than the MIP, the imported merchandise shall be subject to a specific tariff equal to the difference between the entered value on the entry summary and the MIP.
(3) CBP shall monitor and enforce the accuracy of importer documentation submitted pursuant to clause (2) of this proclamation. If CBP determines that an importer's documentation was materially inaccurate or that an importer has materially failed to comply with its certification, that importer and its affiliates shall permanently be prohibited from importing polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives into the United States. CBP may also impose penalties on the noncompliant importer to the extent consistent with applicable law.
(4) Effective with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern time on December 4, 2026, imports of polysilicon ingots and polysilicon derivatives specified in Annexes I and II of this proclamation shall be subject to an additional 15 percent ad valorem rate of duty, except as otherwise specified in this proclamation.
(5)(a) The duties imposed pursuant to clauses (2) and (4) of this proclamation shall continue in effect unless they are expressly reduced, modified, or terminated. These duties shall apply in addition to any other duties, taxes, fees, exactions, and charges applicable to such products, except as otherwise specified in this proclamation.
(b) For products of Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, or a member nation of the European Union subject to tariffs under this proclamation, the sum of the additional section 232 tariff imposed pursuant to clause (4) of this proclamation and the applicable rate of duty under Column 1 of the HTSUS (Column 1 Duty Rate) shall be equal to 15 percent.
(c) For products of the United Kingdom subject to tariffs under this proclamation, the applicable rate of duty under clause (4) of this proclamation shall be 10 percent.
(6) The Secretary is authorized to establish a program to incentivize investment in United States production of raw polysilicon, as well as ingots, wafers, and cells (Covered Products).
(a) The Secretary is authorized to solicit and accept onshoring plans from companies. Any onshoring plan shall include: a commitment, if the plan is approved, to build, refurbish, or expand a facility in the United States that will produce Covered Products; a commitment that construction will start by January 20, 2029; and any other relevant information and analysis, including requirements set by the Secretary.
(b) The Secretary is authorized to approve onshoring plans described in subclause (a) of this clause. In determining whether an onshoring plan qualifies for approval, the Secretary, in consultation with any senior executive branch officials the Secretary deems appropriate, shall consider all relevant factors he deems appropriate, such as the anticipated start date of construction, whether the proposed plan's project timeline is commercially reasonable, whether the proposed plan's project milestones are commercially reasonable, the anticipated annual production of Covered Products from the onshoring project, whether the proposed plan's anticipated costs and Covered Product production projections are reasonable, and how the benefits of the reduced tariff rate will be allocated between the applicants of the onshoring plan. When approving onshoring plans, the Secretary shall act in a manner consistent with the need to address the national security threat found in this proclamation.
(c) If the Secretary approves a company's onshoring plan, the Secretary shall allow the company to import necessary production equipment and Covered Products, in volumes the Secretary deems commensurate with the company's newly committed investment, without paying applicable section 232 duties. These benefits shall be tied to the facility's construction period, shall be contingent on the company making sufficient progress under its approved onshoring plan, and may vary depending on whether the imports use United States polysilicon.
(d) The Secretary is authorized to take all actions that he deems appropriate to implement and effectuate this program, including, consistent with applicable law, the issuance of regulations, rules, guidance, and procedures. All approved onshoring plans shall be subject to monitoring and enforcement by the Secretary. The Secretary may require that companies with approved onshoring plans submit reports to the Department of Commerce to ensure compliance with domestic manufacturing commitments, and he may require that such reports be audited by external auditing firms. Should the Secretary determine that a company is substantially failing to meet its agreed-upon commitments that are the basis for granting tariff offsets or other tariff incentives, the Secretary is authorized to cease and rescind those benefits. In cases where the executive branch assesses that a company engaged in fraud or deliberately misled the United States Government with respect to onshoring commitments, the rescission of tariff benefits can be retroactive to the extent permitted by law, and the Commissioner of CBP may collect the additional tariffs owed because of the retroactive rescission of the tariff benefits and impose any appropriate fines and penalties to the extent consistent with applicable law.
(7) Any product subject to duties pursuant to this proclamation, except those eligible for admission under "domestic status" as described in 19 C.F.R. 146.43, that is admitted into a United States foreign trade zone on or after the effective date of this proclamation may be admitted only under "privileged foreign status" as described in 19 C.F.R. 146.41, and any product admitted in "privileged foreign status" prior to the effective date of this proclamation will be subject upon entry for consumption to any duties related to the classification under the applicable HTSUS subheading.
(8) Manufacturing drawback claims made in accordance with subsections (a) and (b) of section 313 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1313(a)-(b), shall be available with respect to the duties imposed pursuant to this proclamation on articles that meet the following conditions:
(a) the article is not of a type of merchandise subject to an antidumping or countervailing duty order, without regard to whether the article is from the country or countries listed in the order or orders;
(b) the article is a product of Trade Agreement Partners, composed of the United Kingdom, the European Union, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Mexico, Canada, and any trading partner with which the United States concludes a trade and security agreement; and
(c) the polysilicon content of the article is composed entirely of polysilicon from a Trade Agreement Partner country.
(9) The Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Trade Representative, the Chairman of the United States International Trade Commission, and any other senior executive branch official the Secretary deems appropriate, shall determine whether any modifications to the HTSUS are necessary to effectuate or implement this proclamation or any actions taken pursuant to this proclamation, and shall make such modifications through notice in the Federal Register, including any technical correction to Annex I or Annex II to this proclamation.
(10) The Secretary shall monitor actions taken by our trading partners to establish minimum import prices for polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives. Should the Secretary, in consultation with the Trade Representative and the Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing, determine that a trading partner has established a substantially equivalent minimum import price, then the Secretary may alter the applicability of the MIP and the tariffs established in this proclamation to polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives from that trading partner.
(11) The Secretary shall continue to monitor imports of polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives. If the Secretary determines that a company is stockpiling polysilicon or polysilicon derivatives before the date in clauses (2) and (4) of this proclamation, the Secretary shall take action in coordination with CBP to restrict imports by the company and its affiliates. The Secretary also shall, from time to time, in consultation with any senior executive branch officials the Secretary deems appropriate, review the status of such imports with respect to the national security. The Secretary shall inform the President of any circumstances that, in the Secretary's opinion, might indicate the need for further action by the President under section 232. The Secretary shall also inform the President of any circumstance that, in the Secretary's opinion, might indicate that the remedies provided for in this proclamation are no longer necessary.
(12) The Secretary and the Secretary of Homeland Security are directed and authorized to take all actions to implement and effectuate this proclamation -- including, consistent with applicable law, through temporary suspension or amendment of regulations or through notices in the Federal Register and by adopting rules, regulations, or guidance -- and to employ all powers granted to the President, including by section 232, as may be necessary to implement this proclamation. The head of each executive department and agency (agency) is authorized to and shall take all appropriate measures within the agency's authority to implement this proclamation. The head of each agency may, consistent with applicable law, including 3 U.S.C. 301, redelegate the authority to take such appropriate measures within the agency.
(13) The Secretary, in consultation with any senior executive branch officials he deems appropriate, may issue rules, regulations, and guidance consistent with this proclamation, including to address operational necessity and prevent circumvention and evasion, including through manipulation of related-party transactions or transfers of foreign subsidies.
(14) CBP may take any appropriate measures, consistent with applicable law, to administer the tariffs and MIPs imposed by this proclamation.
(15) Any provision of previous proclamations and Executive Orders that is inconsistent with this proclamation is superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.
(16) If any provision of this proclamation or the application of any provision of this proclamation to any individual or circumstance is held to be invalid, the remainder of this proclamation and the application of its provisions to any other individual or circumstance shall not be affected. If any fee, duty, tariff, or program described in this proclamation is held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder shall continue in effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of August, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifty-first.

(a) To implement the MIP program, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall permit importers of polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives to submit documentation at entry establishing or certifying either that any first arm's-length sale of the imported merchandise (or, if applicable, downstream products made from that merchandise) in the United States will occur at or above the applicable MIP, or that any first arm's-length sale of the imported merchandise is pursuant to fixed terms in a contract entered into prior to the date of the signing of this proclamation.
(b) If an importer fails to submit the documentation referenced in subclause (a) of this clause, the imported merchandise shall be subject to a specific tariff equal to the applicable MIP.
(c) For importers that submit the documentation referenced in subclause (a) of this clause, in the event that the entered value on the entry summary of the imported merchandise is less than the MIP, the imported merchandise shall be subject to a specific tariff equal to the difference between the entered value on the entry summary and the MIP.
(3) CBP shall monitor and enforce the accuracy of importer documentation submitted pursuant to clause (2) of this proclamation. If CBP determines that an importer's documentation was materially inaccurate or that an importer has materially failed to comply with its certification, that importer and its affiliates shall permanently be prohibited from importing polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives into the United States. CBP may also impose penalties on the noncompliant importer to the extent consistent with applicable law.
(4) Effective with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern time on December 4, 2026, imports of polysilicon ingots and polysilicon derivatives specified in Annexes I and II of this proclamation shall be subject to an additional 15 percent ad valorem rate of duty, except as otherwise specified in this proclamation.
(5)(a) The duties imposed pursuant to clauses (2) and (4) of this proclamation shall continue in effect unless they are expressly reduced, modified, or terminated. These duties shall apply in addition to any other duties, taxes, fees, exactions, and charges applicable to such products, except as otherwise specified in this proclamation.
(b) For products of Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, or a member nation of the European Union subject to tariffs under this proclamation, the sum of the additional section 232 tariff imposed pursuant to clause (4) of this proclamation and the applicable rate of duty under Column 1 of the HTSUS (Column 1 Duty Rate) shall be equal to 15 percent.
(c) For products of the United Kingdom subject to tariffs under this proclamation, the applicable rate of duty under clause (4) of this proclamation shall be 10 percent.
(6) The Secretary is authorized to establish a program to incentivize investment in United States production of raw polysilicon, as well as ingots, wafers, and cells (Covered Products).
(a) The Secretary is authorized to solicit and accept onshoring plans from companies. Any onshoring plan shall include: a commitment, if the plan is approved, to build, refurbish, or expand a facility in the United States that will produce Covered Products; a commitment that construction will start by January 20, 2029; and any other relevant information and analysis, including requirements set by the Secretary.
(b) The Secretary is authorized to approve onshoring plans described in subclause (a) of this clause. In determining whether an onshoring plan qualifies for approval, the Secretary, in consultation with any senior executive branch officials the Secretary deems appropriate, shall consider all relevant factors he deems appropriate, such as the anticipated start date of construction, whether the proposed plan's project timeline is commercially reasonable, whether the proposed plan's project milestones are commercially reasonable, the anticipated annual production of Covered Products from the onshoring project, whether the proposed plan's anticipated costs and Covered Product production projections are reasonable, and how the benefits of the reduced tariff rate will be allocated between the applicants of the onshoring plan. When approving onshoring plans, the Secretary shall act in a manner consistent with the need to address the national security threat found in this proclamation.
(c) If the Secretary approves a company's onshoring plan, the Secretary shall allow the company to import necessary production equipment and Covered Products, in volumes the Secretary deems commensurate with the company's newly committed investment, without paying applicable section 232 duties. These benefits shall be tied to the facility's construction period, shall be contingent on the company making sufficient progress under its approved onshoring plan, and may vary depending on whether the imports use United States polysilicon.
(d) The Secretary is authorized to take all actions that he deems appropriate to implement and effectuate this program, including, consistent with applicable law, the issuance of regulations, rules, guidance, and procedures. All approved onshoring plans shall be subject to monitoring and enforcement by the Secretary. The Secretary may require that companies with approved onshoring plans submit reports to the Department of Commerce to ensure compliance with domestic manufacturing commitments, and he may require that such reports be audited by external auditing firms. Should the Secretary determine that a company is substantially failing to meet its agreed-upon commitments that are the basis for granting tariff offsets or other tariff incentives, the Secretary is authorized to cease and rescind those benefits. In cases where the executive branch assesses that a company engaged in fraud or deliberately misled the United States Government with respect to onshoring commitments, the rescission of tariff benefits can be retroactive to the extent permitted by law, and the Commissioner of CBP may collect the additional tariffs owed because of the retroactive rescission of the tariff benefits and impose any appropriate fines and penalties to the extent consistent with applicable law.
(7) Any product subject to duties pursuant to this proclamation, except those eligible for admission under "domestic status" as described in 19 C.F.R. 146.43, that is admitted into a United States foreign trade zone on or after the effective date of this proclamation may be admitted only under "privileged foreign status" as described in 19 C.F.R. 146.41, and any product admitted in "privileged foreign status" prior to the effective date of this proclamation will be subject upon entry for consumption to any duties related to the classification under the applicable HTSUS subheading.
(8) Manufacturing drawback claims made in accordance with subsections (a) and (b) of section 313 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1313(a)-(b), shall be available with respect to the duties imposed pursuant to this proclamation on articles that meet the following conditions:
(a) the article is not of a type of merchandise subject to an antidumping or countervailing duty order, without regard to whether the article is from the country or countries listed in the order or orders;
(b) the article is a product of Trade Agreement Partners, composed of the United Kingdom, the European Union, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Mexico, Canada, and any trading partner with which the United States concludes a trade and security agreement; and
(c) the polysilicon content of the article is composed entirely of polysilicon from a Trade Agreement Partner country.
(9) The Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Trade Representative, the Chairman of the United States International Trade Commission, and any other senior executive branch official the Secretary deems appropriate, shall determine whether any modifications to the HTSUS are necessary to effectuate or implement this proclamation or any actions taken pursuant to this proclamation, and shall make such modifications through notice in the Federal Register, including any technical correction to Annex I or Annex II to this proclamation.
(10) The Secretary shall monitor actions taken by our trading partners to establish minimum import prices for polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives. Should the Secretary, in consultation with the Trade Representative and the Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing, determine that a trading partner has established a substantially equivalent minimum import price, then the Secretary may alter the applicability of the MIP and the tariffs established in this proclamation to polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives from that trading partner.
(11) The Secretary shall continue to monitor imports of polysilicon and polysilicon derivatives. If the Secretary determines that a company is stockpiling polysilicon or polysilicon derivatives before the date in clauses (2) and (4) of this proclamation, the Secretary shall take action in coordination with CBP to restrict imports by the company and its affiliates. The Secretary also shall, from time to time, in consultation with any senior executive branch officials the Secretary deems appropriate, review the status of such imports with respect to the national security. The Secretary shall inform the President of any circumstances that, in the Secretary's opinion, might indicate the need for further action by the President under section 232. The Secretary shall also inform the President of any circumstance that, in the Secretary's opinion, might indicate that the remedies provided for in this proclamation are no longer necessary.
(12) The Secretary and the Secretary of Homeland Security are directed and authorized to take all actions to implement and effectuate this proclamation -- including, consistent with applicable law, through temporary suspension or amendment of regulations or through notices in the Federal Register and by adopting rules, regulations, or guidance -- and to employ all powers granted to the President, including by section 232, as may be necessary to implement this proclamation. The head of each executive department and agency (agency) is authorized to and shall take all appropriate measures within the agency's authority to implement this proclamation. The head of each agency may, consistent with applicable law, including 3 U.S.C. 301, redelegate the authority to take such appropriate measures within the agency.
(13) The Secretary, in consultation with any senior executive branch officials he deems appropriate, may issue rules, regulations, and guidance consistent with this proclamation, including to address operational necessity and prevent circumvention and evasion, including through manipulation of related-party transactions or transfers of foreign subsidies.
(14) CBP may take any appropriate measures, consistent with applicable law, to administer the tariffs and MIPs imposed by this proclamation.
(15) Any provision of previous proclamations and Executive Orders that is inconsistent with this proclamation is superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.
(16) If any provision of this proclamation or the application of any provision of this proclamation to any individual or circumstance is held to be invalid, the remainder of this proclamation and the application of its provisions to any other individual or circumstance shall not be affected. If any fee, duty, tariff, or program described in this proclamation is held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder shall continue in effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of August, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifty-first.
