U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued a detention order targeting copper and copper products produced by Serbia Zijin Copper D.O.O. The action stems from credible evidence suggesting the use of forced labor within the company’s operations. This order prohibits the import of these goods into the United States. CBP officials expressed concerns regarding the company’s labor practices, leading to the import restrictions. The move reflects the U.S. government’s commitment to enforcing prohibitions on goods made with forced labor. Serbia Zijin Copper is a subsidiary of a Chinese mining company, Zijin Mining Group. The CBP order will remain in effect pending a thorough investigation and resolution of the labor concerns.
