US bars imports from 26 cotton traders, warehouses over Uyghur forced labor

WASHINGTON, May 16 (Reuters) - The United States is blocking imports from 26 cotton traders or warehouse facilities that it says are linked to forced Uyghur labor, a U.S. government notice posted online on Thursday said.

The move adds the entities to the United States' forced labor entity list for their involvement with the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, according to the notice published in the Federal Register. (Reporting by Karen Freifeld and Susan Heavey; Editing by Doina Chiacu)
