Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act(UFLPA)

The U.S. Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), effective June 2022, bans imports of goods linked to forced labor in China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR). It creates a "rebuttable presumption," meaning all goods from XUAR or listed entities are assumed to be made with forced labor and are prohibited unless importers provide "clear and convincing evidence" otherwise to U.S.

Customs and Border Protection. This law significantly heightens the due diligence burden on importers, particularly in sectors like cotton, electronics, and solar, reflecting a strong U.S. stance against human rights abuses in global supply chains.
