This month, USTR determined that 60 of America’s largest trading partners — representing 99% of US imports — are failing to enforce prohibitions on goods made with forced labor. To evaluate them, the US government turned to one benchmark for what effective enforcement looks like: Dr. Laura Murphy’s Forced Labor Import Blueprint.
Dr. Murphy is Exiger’s partner. Together, we were proud to build forcedlabor.ai to help governments and companies close the gap between forced labor policy and real-world enforcement — identifying risks deep in supply chains and leveraging AI to meet the scale of this global problem. This free AI tool instantly identifies companies connected to state-sponsored forced labor.
The same expertise USTR is now holding 60 governments accountable to is embedded in our platform. As we approach the four-year anniversary of the UFLPA, the standard has been set and the tool exists.
The question now is who acts on it.
