Impact of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act on Trade Landscape
The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act has had a significant impact on trade, with several billion dollars worth of trade targeted for enforcement by US customs. The law invokes the forced labor import ban, Section 307, leading to detentions and trade disruptions.
