Importation of Goods

Overview

Corporations must navigate complex and evolving regulations to ensure their supply chains are free from forced labor, including compliance with the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) and similar laws.

Our team helps some of the United States’ largest importers and global manufacturers develop and strengthen compliance programs, including supplier codes of conduct, audit tools, and risk mitigation strategies. We assist in identifying high-risk suppliers and enhancing tools for evaluation, contracting, and communication. Our work also includes comprehensive benchmarking, refining corporate compliance mechanisms to align with U.S. and international forced labor standards, and engaging with regulators following goods detention.  Gibson Dunn lawyers are also closely following parallel developments of similar rules in the United Kingdom, the European Union and elsewhere.
