KUALA LUMPUR – U.S. customs authorities have determined that palm oil products made by Malaysian firm Sime Darby Plantation were no longer produced with forced labor, according to a notice on the U.S. Federal Register on Thursday.
Goods made by Sime Darby Plantation have been blocked from entering the United States since 2020 over suspected abusive labour practices. Last year, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said it had sufficient information that the firm used “forced labor” and the goods were subject to seizure.
CBP, citing additional information it had received, said on Thursday it had now “determined that the products were no longer being mined, produced, or manufactured wholly or in part with the use of convict, forced, or indentured labor by the Sime Darby Plantation”.
