On August 19, 2025, the Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force (FLETF) published its annual update report on the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) in a Report to Congress entitled “Strategy to Prevent the Importation of Goods Mined, Produced or Manufactured with Forced Labor in the People’s Republic of China” (UFLPA 2025 Strategy).1
The UFLPA 2025 Strategy reflects the administration’s ongoing commitment to enforcement of the UFLPA to prohibit goods made with forced labor in China from entering US supply chains. More importantly, for foreign (and especially Chinese) manufacturers/exporters, and for US importers involved in monitoring their supply chains and ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations relating to forced labor and combatting unfair trading practices, the UFLPA 2025 Strategy provides critical insights into evolving enforcement priorities, as well as the potential in the future for further additions to the UFLPA Entity List.
1The report was published along with a Press Release from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and a Fact Sheet on the annual update and the evolving strategy, and changes in enforcement focus.
