The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) was signed into law in the United States in June 2020. The act prohibits the importation of goods produced using forced labor in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) of China. Recently, there have been new developments in UFLPA enforcement and applicability review. This blog post will discuss the UFLPA and the new resources available for enforcement, as well as the UFLPA region alert and postal code requirements.


What is the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act?

The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act is a U.S. law that prohibits the importation of goods produced using forced labor in the XUAR of China. The UFLPA aims to hold accountable those who are complicit in the use of forced labor in the XUAR, as well as to prevent U.S. businesses from unknowingly importing goods produced using forced labor. The act also requires companies to disclose their supply chain due diligence measures and to demonstrate that they are not using forced labor.
