Sept 25 (Reuters) - The U.S. Customs and Border

Protection is probing whether Indian solar panel maker Waaree

Energies and its American arm evaded anti-dumping and

countervailing duties on solar cells from China and other

Southeast Asian nations, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday.

The agency had imposed interim measures on Waaree based on

reasonable suspicion that it evaded duties when importing goods

into the U.S., the report said, citing a notice.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report. Waaree

Energies and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection did not

immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment outside

regular business hours.

In August, the U.S. had initiated anti-dumping duty and

countervailing duty investigations of crystalline silicon cells

imported from India, Indonesia and Laos.
