Notice Regarding the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List

What happened

Signed by Donald Trump, the Department of Homeland Security announced an update to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List as of October 29, 2026. The update adds three new entities identified as working with the Xinjiang government to transfer or receive forced labor, with two also cited for sourcing materials from government labor schemes. Under the law, U.S. Customs and Border Protection applies a rebuttable presumption that goods produced by these entities are made with forced labor and barred from importation.

Why it matters

Goods mined, produced, or manufactured by entities on this list are presumed to involve forced labor. Consequently, products connected to these newly listed entities are prohibited from being imported into the United States under federal law.

Who it affects

  • ›Three newly listed entities operating in or sourcing from Xinjiang.
  • ›U.S. importers sourcing goods from the designated entities.
  • ›U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel enforcing import prohibitions.
  • ›Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and other persecuted groups referenced in labor schemes.
