PH garment exporters hit US forced labor law

Apparel exporters and manufacturers have experienced shipment delays due to the implementation of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials, the Confederation of Wearable Exporters of the Philippines (Conwep) claimed.

Conwep on Monday said the clearance delays had led to business disruptions, forcing the companies to implement forced leaves for many employees.
