New U.S. Government Actions on Forced Labor in Xinjiang
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Issues Withhold Release Order (WRO):
CBP has issued a WRO
on silica-based products made by Hoshine Silicon Industry Co., Ltd., a company located in Xinjiang, and its subsidiaries.
This WRO is based on information
reasonably indicating that Hoshine used forced labor to manufacture silica-based products.
As a result,
personnel at all U.S. ports of entry
have been instructed to immediately begin detaining shipments that contain silica-based products made by Hoshine or materials and goods derived from or produced using those silica-based products.
CBP investigates allegations of forced labor in U.S. supply chains
and will continue investigating allegations in the polysilicon industry and other industries in Xinjiang and elsewhere.
Department of Commerce
Updates its Entity List:
The Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security added to the Entity List five PRC entities:
Hoshine Silicon Industry (Shanshan); Xinjiang Daqo New Energy;
Xinjiang East Hope Nonferrous Metals; Xinjiang GCL New Energy Material Technology,
and XPCC— for participating in the practice of, accepting, or utilizing forced labor in Xinjiang and contributing to human rights abuses against Uyghurs and other minority groups in Xinjiang.
This action, which follows the 48 PRC entities previously added to the Entity List for their connections to human rights abuses in Xinjiang,
restricts the export, reexport, or in-country transfer of commodities, software, and technology subject to the Export Administration Regulations where such entities are a party to the transactions (e.g., end-user, purchaser, intermediate or ultimate consignee).
