Bill > HR1903

This bill aims to strengthen the prohibition against importing goods made with forced labor by removing an existing exception. Specifically, it amends the Tariff Act of 1930, a law that already bans the importation of goods produced using convict labor, forced labor, or indentured labor. The key change is the elimination of the "consumptive demand exception," which previously allowed such goods to be imported if there wasn't enough domestic production to meet the demand in the United States. By removing this exception, the bill seeks to ensure that no goods made under exploitative labor conditions can enter the U.S. market. Additionally, the bill requires the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection to submit an annual report detailing instances where goods were denied entry under this law, the types of goods denied, and other relevant enforcement information to Congress.
