Singapore joins US webinar on forced labour import restrictions

Singapore joined more than 50 US trading partners in a webinar focused on forced labour import prohibitions, according to the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI).

The United States shared its approach to designing and enforcing import restrictions targeting goods produced using forced labour. The webinar brought together representatives from major trading nations to discuss best practices and implementation strategies.

The initiative reflects growing international focus on supply chain transparency and ethical sourcing. Forced labour prohibitions have become increasingly central to trade policy discussions as countries seek to ensure their imports comply with labour standards.

Singapore's participation underscores its engagement with global efforts to combat forced labour and uphold labour rights standards in international trade. The discussion comes as countries worldwide tighten scrutiny of supply chains to prevent goods made under exploitative conditions from entering their markets.
