On December 23, 2021, the President of the United States enacted the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA). This legislation enforces a ban on the importation of goods originating from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China, under the presumption that products from the region are linked to forced labor.

The law establishes a rebuttable presumption that any item partially or entirely manufactured, mined, or produced in Xinjiang—or by entities named in the UFLPA Entity List—is not permitted to enter the U.S. market under 19 U.S.C. 1307. These goods are presumed to violate U.S. Customs regulations and are therefore subject to exclusion unless clear evidence proves otherwise.

OPENAX confirms that none of its products, including those manufactured or supplied through its subsidiaries, affiliates, or parent entities, contain materials sourced from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China.

As part of our standard due diligence process, OPENAX takes thorough measures to ensure that no part of its solar panel components originates from any of the following entities:

• Hoshine Silicon Industry (Shanshan) Co., Ltd
• Xinjiang Daqo New Energy Co., Ltd
• Xinjiang East Hope Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd
• Xinjiang GCL New Energy Material Technology Co., Ltd
• Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC)

We further ensure that none of our suppliers appear on the UFLPA Entity List.

OPENAX affirms that it neither directly nor indirectly utilizes forced labor in the production of its goods or sourcing of materials. All products and components provided by OPENAX comply fully with the standards outlined in the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act and are eligible for lawful import into U.S. ports.

No part of our products is derived from or processed using silica-based materials linked to entities under sanction, including but not limited to Hoshine Silicon Industry Co. Ltd.

OPENAX maintains a strict stance against forced labor and continuously evaluates its supply chain partners to ensure adherence to responsible labor practices. This commitment extends to ensuring respect for human rights, labor regulations, ethical sourcing, and environmental sustainability across all procurement and business operations.

Information shared by OPENAX on its website or through other communications regarding product compliance with the UFLPA is based on our best knowledge at the time it is published. Our insights are informed by supplier disclosures, inspections when feasible, and available testing results.

While we strive to maintain accurate and up-to-date disclosures, OPENAX makes no guarantees regarding the absolute completeness or accuracy of third-party data. However, the company continues to make reasonable efforts to ensure transparency and integrity in its reporting practices.
