We have an important podcast this week as we host a discussion about government forced labor policy with Eric Choy, Acting Executive Director, Trade Remedy Law Enforcement, Office of Trade at U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). He has worked in the government policy arena for many years, and has had a career in the U.S. military. Today, Mr. Choy directs CBP’s forced labor enforcement activities. During our insightful discussion with Mr. Choy, we covered a range of policy issues including U.S. government policy concerning imported products made by forced labor, how the government enforces prohibitions against the importation of such products, as well as the mechanics of enforcing government policy. Our discussion covered topics including Withhold Release Orders (WRO), efforts to enforce the import ban on products exported to the U.S. from the Xinjiang province of China proven to be made with forced labor, along with new technologies to track the movement of raw materials throughout the Asian textile supply chain. Hosted by Jennifer Crumpler, Fiber Development Manager and Manager of the e3 Sustainable Cotton Program from BASF, and interviewed by industry consultant Bob Antoshak.
