It is the policy of the United States to— ensure that the PRC does not undermine the effective enforcement of section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930 ( 19 U.S.C. 1307 ); lead the international community in ending child labor and forced labor practices wherever such practices occur through all means available to the United States Government, including by prohibiting the importation of goods made with cobalt or containing cobalt extracted from the DRC by companies from the PRC; recognize that the PRC’s dominance in DRC’s cobalt extraction and the processing and refining of cobalt is a national security concern of the United States that requires a strategy developed jointly by the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Commerce, and the heads of other appropriate Federal agencies; and coordinate with Mexico and Canada to effectively implement Article 23.6 of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement to prohibit the importation of goods produced in whole or in part by forced labor or compulsory labor, including those goods produced in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), including the processing of cobalt and goods made with cobalt.
