It is the policy of the United States— to strengthen the prohibition against the importation of goods made with forced labor, including by ensuring that the Government of the People’s Republic of China does not undermine the effective enforcement of section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930 ( 19 U.S.C. 1307 ), which prohibits the importation of all goods, wares, articles, and merchandise mined, produced or manufactured wholly or in part in any foreign country by … forced labor ; to lead the international community in ending forced labor practices wherever such practices occur through all means available to the United States Government, including by stopping the importation of any goods made with forced labor, including those goods mined, produced, or manufactured wholly or in part in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region; to actively work to prevent, publicly denounce, and end human trafficking, including with respect to forced labor, whether sponsored by the government of a foreign country or not, and to restore the lives of those affected by human trafficking, a modern form of slavery; to regard the prevention of atrocities as a priority in the national interests of the United States; and to address gross violations of human rights in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region— through bilateral diplomatic channels and multilateral institutions in which both the United States and the People’s Republic of China are members; and using all the authorities available to the United States Government, including visa and financial sanctions, export restrictions, and import controls.
