The forced-labour supply-chain controls theme captures the instruments that translate international anti-forced-labour norms into binding import-prohibition and corporate due-diligence law. Three national/supranational pillars form the G7 core:
1. US UFLPA (Pub. L. 117-78, Dec 2021) — XUAR-focused rebuttable presumption at the border; goods wholly or in part from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region or produced by FLETF-listed entities are presumed to violate 19 U.S.C. § 1307 unless importer provides clear-and-convincing evidence to CBP.
2. EU Forced Labour Regulation (Reg 2024/3015, full application 2027) — global horizontal market-prohibition + export ban; Commission directly competent for state-imposed forced-labour cases; Art 7 high-risk database mechanism.
3. Canada Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (S.C. 2023, c. 9; Bill S-211, EIF 1 Jan 2024) — supply-chain disclosure mandate + customs-tariff extension to child labour (Schedule 9898.00.00).
Actions in this cluster:
- Are distinct from broad sanctions regimes (no financial-designation vector)
- May cross-reference the eu-fisheries-iuu-control theme (forced labour on fishing vessels)
- Often pair with CSDDD-type due-diligence directives as the complementary corporate-obligation pillar
