The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced its largest batch of additions to the list of companies blocked under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) in the form of a sweep of the Chinese textile industry.
The DHS added 26 China-based textile companies to the UFLPA Entity List, thus restricting their goods from entering the United States. The expansion to the list, announced Thursday and effective Friday, nearly doubled its size to 65 entities designated since the law was signed in December 2021.
“Today’s announcement strengthens our enforcement of the UFLPA and helps responsible companies conduct due diligence so that, together, we can keep the products of forced labor out of our country,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas in a press release.
