WASHINGTON: US authorities are ready to implement a ban on imports from China's Xinjiang region when a law requiring it becomes enforceable later in June, a US Customs official said on Wednesday , adding that a"very high" level of evidence would be required for an exemption.
The law includes a"rebuttable presumption" that all goods from Xinjiang, where Chinese authorities established detention camps for Uyghurs and other Muslim groups, are made with forced labor, and bars their import unless it can be proven otherwise. Some US lawmakers have supported requests by Customs and Border Protection for more budget to effectively implement that provision, which goes into effect on Jun 21.
"The expectation is that we will be ready to implement the Uyghur act on Jun 21, and that we have the resources," Muneton told a webinar on enforcing the law."So the question is, are we ready to implement? Yes, we are," she said.
