Kingtom Aluminio S. R. L. was found to have used forced labor while manufacturing its products, violating federal law ( 19 U. S. C. § 1307 ). In consequence, CBP has a restriction on importing goods from any business that has its goods “made entirely or in part by convict labor, or/and forced labor, or/and bonded labor, even forced or bonded child labor [. ]”  ,
Additionally, the company’s violations conflict with the ideals and guiding principles of CBP’s forced labour police vision, which calls for supporting “ethical and humanitarian business while leveling the playing area for American companies that value good labor standards.”
” Forced labor is a violation of basic human rights”, notes the CBP website. In this way, they have strengthened their commitment and commitment to “identifying products made by forced labor and preventing them from entering the United States, thus denying access to the U.S. economy for those who engage in the egregious human rights abuses associated with the use of forced labor.”
Following earlier allegations of abuse and forced labor, the CBP opened an investigation into Kingtom Aluminio S. R. L. During its probe, CBP discovered that Kingtom Aluminio S. R. L. had committed multiple violations, including “abuse of vulnerability, intimidation and threats, deception, withholding of wages, physical and sexual violence, restriction of movement, and excessive overtime” . ,
In response to its findings, numerous CBP officials decried the company.
