Forced Labor

CBP is the primary U.S. agency tasked with combating forced labor in international trade. It is the only agency with legal authority to take enforcement action and prevent entry into domestic commerce of goods produced with forced labor. CBP combats forced labor by issuing Withhold Release Orders (WROs) and Findings, and enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), and Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA). Goods subject to WROs and Findings, UFLPA, and CAATSA status cannot be entered at any ports of the U.S.

The Dutch Senate approved legislation that requires companies to examine and prevent the use of child labor in supply chains, the Netherlands announced on May 14. According to an alert from the Akin Gump law firm, "the Dutch law requires companies doing business in the Netherlands or those who provide goods or services to Dutch consumers -- including only through online means, if there is explicit targeting of the Dutch market -- to assess their supply chains to identify any child labor risks and then develop diligence and action plans to address and mitigate any such risks they find."
