摘要

U.S.Customs and Border Protection(CBP)issued a withhold release order(WRO)on disposable rubber gloves produced in Malaysia by WRP Asia Pacific Sdn.Bhd.that are produced,according to the CBP,with forced labor.This action was based on infonnation obtained and reviewed by CBP that indicates that the products are produced,in whole or in part,using forced labor.The action was also taken against four other concerns.Under U.S.law,it is illegal to import goods into the U.S.that are made wholly or in part by forced labor,which includes convict labor,indentured labor and forced or indentured child labor.When sufficient information is available,CBP may detain goods believed to have been produced with forced labor by issuing a WRO.Importers have the opportunity to either re-export the detained shipments at any time or to submit information to CBP demonstrating that the goods are not in violation.
