As part of the agreement signed on July 8, the U.S. and Canada also committed to prohibiting imports of solar products produce with forced labor.

In a perfect world, outsourcing electronics manufacturing would be as simple as buying a fabricated part. However, the complexity of outsourcing manufacturing is rarely a perfect world scenario. The added complexity of bills of materials (BOMs) with hundreds of parts, narrow process windows, variable forecasts and supply chain constraints drive the need for a much more aligned working relationship.
