Forced Labor and Tariffs: Section 301 & the Updated UFLPA List
Trade enforcement is no longer a set of separate workstreams. Forced labor scrutiny, tariff actions, supplier due diligence, and sourcing decisions increasingly intersect, especially as Section 301 investigations add new urgency to an already complex compliance environment.
On top of that, DHS recently added 43 companies to the UFLPA entity list, putting it right back at the top of the agenda of trade compliance.
Join a fireside chat with Josh Kagan, International trade attorney at Kelley Drye on how these pressures are converging, followed by a practical walkthrough of the impact on supply chain due diligence, and how teams can act.

The Problem
How do you coordinate trade, legal, compliance, and procurement teams when the same supplier or sourcing decision carries tariff exposure, forced-labor risk, and potential import disruption?
Whether your organization has an established forced-labor program or is responding to these issues for the first time, you need a clear way to prioritize risk and act on new signals.
What You’ll Learn
- Why trade enforcement is converging, and may operate at higher frequency, across tariffs, forced labor, supplier due diligence, UFLPA, Section 301, DOJ activity, and other jurisdictions’ import bans.
- What 43 new UFLPA entity-list additions signal about ownership chains, civil-society information, high-risk industries, and critical-minerals exposure.
- Where compliance teams should focus first: sourcing and tier-four exposure, documentation, supplier reviews, and shipments already in motion, especially as re-export options shrink.
How to build an evergreen compliance program with active monitoring, using live supplier and import-risk signals to turn regulatory updates into practical action.
