Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) Cell from Japan
An organic photovoltaic (OPV) cell is a lightweight, flexible solar cell made from polymer semiconductors that convert light into electricity. It is sold as an individual, unassembled unit, not yet integrated into a module or panel. This tariff item covers photovoltaic cells not assembled into modules or panels, and the cell's semiconductor-based operation qualifies it as a photosensitive semiconductor device.

Import Tips
• Ensure the cells are shipped unassembled and not mounted in frames or panels, as assembled modules fall under a different tariff item
• Declare the cell's semiconductor material and function clearly to avoid CBSA reclassification
• Verify whether the goods qualify for preferential treatment under a free trade agreement to reduce duty
