An arcane provision in U.S. Customs law, known as the "consumptive demand exception," allowed products and commodities made with forced labor to be imported in cases where production in the U.S. did not meet meet "consumptive demand." Recent changes in the statute have brought an end to this provision. What does this mean for your supply chain?
You're invited to join Kelley Drye & Warren for a meeting on Tuesday, May 10th, with Kenneth Kennedy, Senior Policy Advisor for Forced Labor Programs at the Department of Homeland Security/Immigration and Customs Enforcement (DHS/ICE) for a discussion about the repeal of the consumptive demand exemption, what the investigations process at CBP and ICE may look like, and what steps companies should take to increase supply chain transparency and traceability.
There is no charge to attend this seminar, but space is limited, so you must register in advance.
