The Department of Justice on Oct. 10 has brought civil action against a company executive for allegedly evading U.S. tariffs on imported Chinese solar panels.

Ecosolargy is a corporation that imported solar panels into the United States and from 2014 to 2018 imported Chinese products, according to the complaint.
