Uncovering UFLPA-Linked Entities

If you’re in global trade or supply chain management, chances are you’ve heard of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act or UFLPA. This U.S. law was introduced to combat the use of forced labor, particularly in the Xinjiang region of China, where serious human rights concerns have been raised. Under UFLPA, any goods even partially produced in Xinjiang are automatically presumed to involve forced labor and are blocked from entering the U.S. unless proven otherwise. For businesses, this means stricter scrutiny, potential shipment detentions, and an urgent need to know exactly who’s in your supply chain.

Why does this matter so much?

Because forced labor risk isn’t just about ticking a compliance box—it’s about protecting your brand, your customers, and your reputation. Regulators are stepping up enforcement, and investors and consumers are watching closely. If you're unknowingly working with entities linked to forced labor, you're opening your business to legal trouble and reputational damage. The reality is, supply chains are deep and complex, and the risk can be hiding several layers down, well beyond what most traditional systems can see.

That’s where Trademo Map comes in. Our data has uncovered over 550 companies sanctioned under UFLPA that are not just floating at the surface—they’re buried deep in tier 5 of over 500k+ global companies' upstream supply chains. It’s a powerful reminder of how interconnected the global supply chain is—and how easy it is to overlook hidden risks if you don’t have the right tools.

We also looked into the countries most involved with these high-risk entities, and the results might surprise you. Below are the top 10 countries ranked by the number of companies with forced labor risk in their upstream supply chains, up to tier 5, mapped by Trademo:

It’s clear that forced labor exposure isn’t limited to one region—it spans across some of the world’s biggest economies and supply chain hubs.
