The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) added three China-based entities across the seafood, aluminum, and footwear industries to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) Entity List.
Effective Wednesday, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will apply a “rebuttable presumption that goods produced by these entities will be prohibited from entering the United States,” the DHS said in a press release Tuesday.
Entities added were Dongguan Oasis Shoes, Shandong Meijia Group, and Xinjiang Shenhuo Coal and Electricity.
