Compliance Guide – Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA)
The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) establishes a rebuttable presumption that any goods wholly or partially produced in China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) are made with forced labor, and are therefore prohibited from entering the United States. This places a significant burden of proof on importers to demonstrate their supply chains are free from forced labor at every stage.
To help you navigate these requirements, Sedex has developed a free, practical guide that breaks down what UFLPA means for your business and the steps you can take to build a compliant, evidence-based supply chain programme.
