Supermax over forced labour claims KUALA LUMPUR – Supermax Corp Bhd is the latest Malaysian company to have its products barred from entering the United States over allegations of forced labour.
The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) today issued a withhold release order (WRO) against Supermax and its subsidiaries – Maxter Glove Manufacturing Sdn Bhd, Maxwell Glove Manufacturing Bhd and Supermax Glove Manufacturing Sdn Bhd.
The order is based on “information that reasonably indicates their use of forced labour and manufacturing operations”, CBP said in a statement.
It added that it identified 10 of the International Labour Organisation’s indicators of forced labour during its investigation.
Federal Statute 19 U.S.C. 1307 prohibits the importation of merchandise produced, wholly or in part, by convict labour, forced labour, and/or indentured labour, including forced or indentured child labour.
“With 10 of the 11 forced labour indicators identified during the course of our investigation, CBP has sufficient evidence to conclude that Supermax Corp Bhd and its subsidiaries produce gloves in violation of US trade law,” said CBP office of trade executive assistant commissioner AnnMarie R. Highsmith.
KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 21): Disposable gloves produced by Supermax Corporation Bhd units Maxter Glove Manufacturing Sdn Bhd, Maxwell Glove Manufacturing Bhd, and Supermax Glove Manufacturing will be detained at at all U.S. ports of entry effective Thursday (Oct 21).
In a statement Wednesday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued a Withhold Release Order (WRO) against Supermax Corp and its subsidiaries based on information that reasonably alleged their use of forced labor in manufacturing operations.
CBP said it identified 10 of the International Labour Organization’s indicators of forced labor during its investigation.
CBP Acting Commissioner Troy Miller said the Withhold Release Order will help protect vulnerable workers.
“CBP is a global leader in forced labor enforcement, and we will continue to exclude products made by modern slavery from entering into the United States.”
Federal statute 19 U.S.C. 1307 prohibits the importation of merchandise produced, wholly or in part, by convict labor, forced labor, and/or indentured labor, including forced or indentured child labor.
CBP detains shipments of goods suspected of being imported in violation of this statute.
Importers of detained shipments have the opportunity to export their shipments or demonstrate that the merchandise was not produced with forced labor.
Meanwhile, CBP Office of Trade Executive Assistant Commissioner AnnMarie R. Highsmith said with 10 of the 11 forced labor indicators identified during the course of investigation, CBP has ample evidence to conclude that Supermax Corp and its subsidiaries produce gloves in violation of U.S. trade law.
“Until Supermax and its subsidiaries can prove their manufacturing processes are free of forced labor, their goods are not welcome here,” she said.
Supermax joins a list of other Malaysian companies to be have been banned by CBP.
