Uyghur Forced Labor Disclosure Act: Supply Chain Transparency

This act requires publicly traded companies to disclose if their products or materials originate from China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), especially if forced labor is involved. It aims to increase supply chain transparency and inform consumers about the origin of goods, potentially influencing their purchasing decisions.
Key points
Companies must disclose if they import goods or materials from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), including electronics, food, textiles, shoes, auto parts, and polysilicon.
Companies must reveal if imported goods originated in forced labor camps and if they intend to continue such imports.
This information will be publicly available, allowing citizens to make informed choices about products.
The act is set to expire after 8 years, unless the U.S. President determines that mass human rights violations in the Xinjiang region have ended.
