Audience:
Open industry. All apparel and footwear industry professionals, regardless of AAFA membership, are encouraged to participate.
Description:
The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) Statistics dashboard unveiled by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in mid-March makes it clear that companies need to look beyond China when mapping their supply chains. The dashboard reveals a startlingly high number of stopped shipments that originated in Vietnam and Malaysia. What can we surmise from this newly available data on shipments detained and released from countries outside of China? How should companies respond to the rise of third-country manufacturers?
Attendees of this webinar will learn:
- How to interpret the new CBP UFLPA Statistics dashboard.
- How UFLPA enforcement trends are impacting businesses.
- What next steps companies should take to comply.
