The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has lifted a year-long ban on the import of goods made by Malaysia rubber glove maker YTY Holdings Sdn Bhd, saying that the firm has resolved suspected labour abuses. The CBP said in a statement that YTY Group had taken numerous actions to remediate forced labour indicators within its manufacturing process and employee housing facilities, including drafting and implementing a corrective action plan to address indicators of forced labour, reimbursing recruitment fees paid by its migrant workers, and commissioning an independent social compliance audit.
