This law aims to prevent goods made with forced labor in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region from entering U.S. markets.

Importers can obtain exceptions only by following new due‑diligence guidance and proving with clear and convincing evidence their goods were not produced with forced labor. - Enforcement and trade partners: requires a Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force strategy within 180 days and annual updates. The strategy must map risks, prioritize sectors like cotton, tomatoes, and polysilicon, expand Customs and Border Protection tracing and technology pilots, and broaden sanctions tools under the Uyghur Human Rights framework.
