Summary
The Department of Homeland Security just updated the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List by adding 39 new companies and groups linked to forced labor in Xinjiang. This means these entities face tougher trade restrictions starting January 15, 2025, helping stop products made with forced labor from entering the U.S. If you do business internationally, watch out—these changes could impact your supply chain and costs.

39 Firms Added; Imports Presumed Forced‑Labor
On January 15, 2025, DHS added 39 entities to the UFLPA Entity List (3 added to section 2(d)(2)(B)(ii), 35 added to section 2(d)(2)(B)(v), and 1 added to both sections). Under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, goods mined, produced, or manufactured by entities on the UFLPA Entity List are subject to a rebuttable presumption that they were made with forced labor and are therefore prohibited from importation into the United States under 19 U.S.C. 1307. If you import goods or run a business that sources materials from the newly listed companies, those products may be barred from entry into the U.S.
