More Disposable Gloves From Malaysia Now Subject to Forced Labor WRO

CBP issued a withhold release order on disposable gloves “produced in Malaysia by YTY Industry Holdings Sdn Bhd (YTY Group), including YTY Industry Sdn Bhd, Green Prospect Sdn Bhd, and GP Lumut," the Department of Homeland Security said in a news release Jan. 28. “CBP is entering the new year with a renewed commitment to investigating and enforcing the U.S. prohibition against importing goods made with forced labor,” CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus said. “We will again dedicate significant resources to rooting out the evil and inhumane practices of forced labor.” The WRO took effect Jan. 28. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas also "designated the DHS Chief Procurement Officer as the Department’s Senior Accountable Official to prevent forced labor and other forms of human trafficking in all DHS contracts and acquisitions," DHS said.
