WASHINGTON—The Department of Homeland Security announced Wednesday that it would ban the import of goods from a Chinese steel manufacturer and a Chinese maker of artificial sweetener, accusing both of being involved in the use of forced labor from China’s far-west region of Xinjiang.

The Department of Homeland Security logo is seen during a news conference in Washington on Feb. 25, 2015.

“Today’s actions reaffirm our commitment to eliminating forced labor from US supply chains and upholding our values of human rights for all,” said Robert Silvers, undersecretary of Homeland Security for policy. “No sector is off-limits. We will continue to identify entities across industries and hold accountable those who seek to profit from exploitation and abuse.”

Enforcement of the law initially targeted solar products, tomatoes, cotton and apparel, but over the last several months, the US government has identified new sectors for enforcement, including aluminum and seafood.
