DHS Expands List of Companies Barred Over Alleged Forced Labor

The Department of Homeland Security has added 43 companies to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List, bringing the total to 187. This significant expansion, effective August 3, 2026, means goods from these entities are presumed prohibited from entering the U.S. due to alleged involvement in forced labor in Xinjiang. The action aims to protect American workers and uphold human dignity by preventing the import of products linked to exploitation.
