Such cells include photovoltaic cells that contain crystalline silicon in addition to other photovoltaic materials. This includes, but is not limited to, passivated emitter rear contact cells, heterojunction with intrinsic thin-layer cells, and other so-called hybrid cells. Subheadings 9903.45.21 and 9903.45.22 include goods presented in cell form and which at the time of importation are not presented assembled into circuits, laminates or modules or made up into panels. (ii) Subheadings 9903.45.21 and 9903.45.22 shall not cover(1) thin film photovoltaic products produced from amorphous silicon ("a-Si"), cadmium telluride ("CdTe"), or copper indium gallium selenide ("CIGS"); (2) CSPV cells, not exceeding 10,000 mm2 in surface area, that are permanently integrated into a consumer good whose primary function is other than power generation and that consumes the electricity generated by the integrated CSPV cell. Where more than one CSPV cell is permanently integrated into a consumer good, the surface area for purposes of this exclusion shall be the total combined surface area of all CSPV cells that are integrated into the consumer good; and (3) CSPV cells, whether or not partially or fully assembled into other products, if such CSPV cells were manufactured in the United States. (iii) Subheadings 9903.45.21 and 9903.45.22 shall likewise not cover the following goods, whether or not separate statistical reporting numbers therefor may appear in chapters 1 through 97 of the tariff schedule: 2 watt solar panels incorporated into daylight dimmers, that may use rechargeable batteries, such panels with the following dimensions: 19:20 Jan 24, 2018 Jkt 244001 PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4790 Sfmt 4790 E:\FR\FM\25JAD2.SGM 25JAD2 ED25JA18.032</GPH> 1 watt solar panels incorporated into nightlights that use rechargeable batteries and have the following dimensions: 58 rom or more but not over 64 rom by 126 rom or more but not over 140 rom; (3) VerDate Sep<11>2014 10 to 60 watt, inclusive, rectangular solar panels, where the panels have the following characteristics: (A) length of250 rom or more but not over 482 rom or width of 400 rom or more but not over 635 rom, and (B) surface area of 1000 cm2 or more but not over 3,061 cm2), provided that no such panel with those characteristics shall contain an internal battery or external computer peripheral ports at the time of entry; (2) sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PRES DOCS (1) Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 17 / Thursday, January 25, 2018 / Presidential Documents 3547 Annexes, page 3 75 mm or more but not over 82 mm by 139 mm or more but not over 143 mm; (4) off-grid and portable CSPV panels, whether in a foldable case or in rigid form containing a glass cover, where the panels have the following characteristics: (A) a total power output of 100 watts or less per panel; (B) a maximum surface area of 8,000 cm2 per panel; (C) do not include a built-in inverter; (D) where the panels have glass covers, such panels must be in individual retail packaging (for purposes of this provision, retail packaging typically includes graphics, the product name, its description and/or features, and foam for transport); (5) (6) VerDate Sep<11>2014 27.1 watt or less solar panels, each with surface area less than 3,000 cm2 and coated across the entire surface with a polyurethane doming resin, the foregoing joined to a battery charging and maintaining unit, such unit which is an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ("ABS") box that incorporates a light emitting diode ("LED") by coated wires that include a connector to permit the incorporation of an extension cable. Any goods covered by this note may also be excluded from the application of relief if they are covered by a determination by the United States Trade Representative ("USTR") published in the Federal Register that such goods should be exempt from the application of any rate of duty or tariff-rate quota otherwise imposed on goods described in the provisions of this note. Such a determination by the USTR under this subdivision may exempt specific additional CSPV cells or modules when entered from all countries or when entered from enumerated countries only, or may modify the product descriptions in subdivision (c) of this note. The USTR is authorized to modify or terminate any such determination during the effective period of the subheadings specified in the first sentence of subdivision (a) of this note and to specify, subsequent to the effective date specified in this note, that such CSPV cells and modules will be considered "goods excluded from the application of relief' upon publication by the USTR of a notice in the Federal Register. Such "goods excluded from the application of relief' shall not be counted toward any tariff-rate quota quantities specified for any quota period. 19:20 Jan 24, 2018 Jkt 244001 PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4790 Sfmt 4790 E:\FR\FM\25JAD2.SGM 25JAD2 ED25JA18.033</GPH> sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PRES DOCS (d) 3.19 watt or less solar panels, each with length of75 mm or more but not over 266 mm and width of 46 mm or more but not over 127 mm, with surface area of338 cm2 or less, with one black wire and one red wire (each of type 22 A WG or 24 AWG) not more than 206 mm in length when measured from panel edge, provided that no such panel shall contain an internal battery or external computer peripheral ports;
