DHS Blocks Goods from Three Chinese Genomics Companies Linked to Forced Labor from Entering U.S.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that, effective October 29, 2026, goods produced by three Chinese genomics companies will be prohibited from entering the United States. This action is based on a rebuttable presumption that these companies are involved in forced labor practices, either by sourcing materials from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region or by collaborating with the Xinjiang government in the recruitment, transport, or transfer of forced labor or persecuted ethnic groups.
