DHS Adds 43 Companies to Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List, Marking Largest-Ever Expansion

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced the addition of 43 companies to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) Entity List, bringing the total to 187 entities. This 30% increase represents the single largest expansion of the list, prohibiting goods produced by these companies from entering the United States due to forced labor concerns. The action, effective August 3, 2026, aims to prevent illicit goods from reaching U.S. markets and protect American workers from unfair competition.
