CBP Schedules Event on Goods Made With North Korean Labor

CBP scheduled an event focused on provisions of the Countering America’s Adversaries through Sanctions Act that prohibits imports of goods made with North Koreans, the agency said in an email. "This statute reinforces the need for comprehensive due diligence and supply chain security strategies for U.S. importers," CBP said in a flyer announcing the event. "This session will focus on addressing questions and discussing strategies for compliance." The event is planned for April 13 from 10 a.m. to noon in Crystal City, Virginia, CBP said. As of January, CBP had stopped 15 shipments due to the possible use of North Korean laborers (see 1801120007).
