CBP Issues WRO on Work Gloves Made by Chinese Company
Work gloves manufactured by Shanghai Select Products Company, and its subsidiaries Select (Nantong) Safety Products Co. Limited and Select Protective Technology (HK) Limited, cannot enter the U.S. because CBP says it has information that reasonably indicates the gloves were made with convict labor.
The order is effective April 10, the same day it was issued by CBP. It joins 51 other WROs and eight findings under the ban of goods made with forced labor.
“We have been clear that we will not tolerate any form of forced labor in U.S. supply chains,” CBP Executive Assistant Commissioner AnnMarie Highsmith said. “We encourage like-minded partners to join us in supporting fair competition in the global marketplace.”
“We continue to send a strong message to the importing community that the United States will not tolerate forced labor and human rights abuses in our supply chains,” said Robert Silvers, DHS undersecretary for Policy and chair of the federal Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force. “CBP’s actions today demonstrate that we will enforce all of our forced labor laws vigorously.”
