The Under Secretary for Policy Robert Silvers, who serves as chair of the Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force said, “We are uncompromising in removing forced labour from U.S. supply chains. Our enforcement efforts are yielding results. Our Administration is committed to advancing this momentum and strengthening accountability across global supply chains.”

About The List

This list signifies US support for the Uyghurs against forced labour and oppression in the East Turkistan region.

The DHS has now added 78 entities to the UFLPA entry list since its formation in December 2021. The list includes companies based on agriculture, chemicals, textiles, plastics, batteries, household appliances and electronics.

This list is compiled by the US to eliminate forced labour and holds the PRC responsible for genocide and crimes against humanity against the Uyghurs and other religious and ethnic groups in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR).

These goods are not allowed to enter the US as the forced labour used behind these goods is against the human rights of Uyghurs.
