Abstract

This document amends the Customs Regulations with the particular intent to stop illegal shipments of products of forced or indentured child labor and to punish violators. The document amends the Customs Regulations to provide for the seizure and forfeiture of merchandise that is found to be a prohibited importation under 19 U.S.C. 1307, concerning products of convict labor, forced labor, or indentured labor under penal sanctions, including forced or indentured child labor under penal sanctions. The amendment makes clear that nothing in the Customs Regulations precludes Customs from seizing for forfeiture merchandise imported in violation of applicable Federal criminal law dealing with prison-labor goods. The amendments form part of a vigorous law enforcement initiative undertaken by Customs to prohibit the importation of merchandise produced by forced or indentured child labor.
