WASHINGTON: The United States restricted imports from three more Chinese companies on Tuesday as part of an effort to eliminate goods made with the forced labour of Uyghur minorities from the US supply chain.

A 2021 law, the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List , prohibits importation of goods into the United States that are either produced in Xinjiang or by companies identified on the list unless the importer can prove that the goods were not produced with forced labour.
