Department of Homeland Security

Coordinates homeland security and import-enforcement affecting supply-chain integrity, including UFLPA forced-labor enforcement through the Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force.

One-minute briefing

Agency snapshot

As of July 2026 the UFLPA Entity List includes 144 companies, after DHS added 37 entities in January 2026 — the largest expansion since the Act’s inception — targeting critical minerals, electronics, and textiles, including polysilicon producers. Goods from listed entities face a rebuttable presumption of exclusion at the border. Members sourcing electronics components should treat UFLPA diligence as active exposure. Confirm the current list against dhs.gov/uflpa.
