UFLPA apparel and e-commerce risk: small parcels still need supply-chain proof
Apparel, cotton, textiles, and e-commerce parcels are not exempt from forced-labour and origin proof merely because orders are small.
Facts
As de minimis rules change and UFLPA enforcement digitizes, platform sellers need customs and human-rights evidence together.
Compliance lessons
Cross-border sellers need to confirm material origin, supplier labour practices, and listing evidence before product selection, not after detention.
