WASHINGTON DC - The Hong Kong-based Esquel Group, one of the world's biggest textile and apparel manufacturers, has been restricted from exporting to the US under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA).
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has added the group to the UFLPA 'entity list' of companies specifically restricted from exporting to the US over alleged links to forced labour in the Xinjiang region of China.
