Today’s enforcement actions make it clear—the U.S. will not tolerate forced labor in goods entering our markets. The UFLPA is a powerful tool in the fight against forced labor. We urge companies to take responsibility, know their supply chains, and act ethically.
NEW: Today, DHS, on behalf of the Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force (FLETF), announced the addition of 29 companies based in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) Entity List – bringing the total number of entities on the UFLPA

The U.S. stands with Ukraine in the face of Russia’s unprovoked aggression and against efforts to erase Ukraine’s rich history. DHS is proud to provide extensive support to Ukraine, and we will continue to do so to protect its people and safeguard its independent identity. 🇺🇸🇺🇦

We are committed to expanding our enforcement of the UFLPA to keep goods made with forced labor out of U.S. markets by expanding the UFLPA Entity List, CBP enforcement at our ports, focusing on additional industry sectors, and continued engagement with industry and civil society.
Forced labor is a form of modern slavery, and @DHSgov is committed to eradicating it from our supply chains.

Today’s action, which includes entities from within and outside Xinjiang, and from three different industry sectors—footwear, seafood, and aluminum—reaffirms our commitment to robust enforcement of our forced labor laws.
Today, DHS reaffirms its commitment to ensure seafood, aluminum, & shoes produced with forced labor are kept out of global supply chains & out of the U.S. market by adding three new companies to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List: https://t.co/LMjrOISslN
