The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the addition of 43 companies to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) Entity List, effective August 3, 2026. This brings the total number of entities on the list to 187, a 30% increase. Goods from these companies, which are linked to forced labor in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) or collaboration with Xinjiang authorities, will face a rebuttable presumption of prohibition from entering the U.S. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated the move protects American workers from unfair competition. Since UFLPA’s enactment, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has blocked over 24,300 shipments valued at nearly $1 billion. The Trump Administration’s efforts also include the Trade Fraud Task Force, which reported over $1 billion in penalties and recoveries related to forced labor. DHS will publish the updated list in the Federal Register on August 3, 2026.
