US Implements Stricter Rules on Electronics Imports from Malaysia and Vietnam

Electronics worth $74 million, including solar panels and microchips, were denied entry in the United States or were checked for components from forced labor in China. Malaysia and Vietnam, major exporters to the United States, had a significant portion of their cargoes denied or held for checks. The new rules introduced by the U.S. Uyghur Forced Labor Protection Act (UFLPA) require exporters to demonstrate their products do not contain any raw material or component from Xinjiang.
