U.S. DHS adds China-based textile companies to UFLPA Entity List
CBP will enforce a rebuttable presumption that goods are prohibited from entering the United States.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on October 31, 2024, expanded the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) Entity List to include additional textile companies based in China, specifically targeting those involved in forced labor practices in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
According to the DHS release, effective November 1, 2024, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will enforce a rebuttable presumption that goods produced by three Chinese entities are prohibited from entering the United States.
Additionally, another Chinese textile company has been reclassified within the UFLPA Entity List, continuing to be subject to import restrictions.
