Key provisions of the Act are defined in a one-page abstract right here, and come with:
- A discovering that there’s a “very prime chance” that many factories and different providers in East Turkistan are exploiting compelled hard work, and that company “due diligence” relating to provide chains isn’t imaginable because of mass surveillance, pervasive police presence, and vicious intimidation of staff.
- A shift within the burden of evidence for firms, in an effort to agree to U.S. rules prohibiting the import of compelled hard work items. The law would create a “rebuttable presumption” that items produced in East Turkistan are made with compelled hard work. Prior to permitting such items to be imported, U.S. border government will require “transparent and convincing proof” that they have been now not produced with compelled hard work, in complete or partially.
- A demand that the U.S. executive impose International Magnitsky sanctions on overseas individuals who knowingly interact in Uyghur compelled hard work or try to violate U.S. legislation on importation of compelled hard work items.
- A demand that the Secretary of State supply to Congress:
- a listing of Chinese language entities that use Uyghur compelled hard work,
