The IPR Center – formally codified in the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015 – is one of the U.S. government's key weapons in the fight against criminal counterfeiting and piracy. The center uses the expertise of its 24 member agencies to share information, develop initiatives, coordinate enforcement actions, and conduct investigations related to IP theft.
Guide to Restrictions under Regulation (EU) 2018/1513 to control certain carcinogenic, mutagenic or reprotoxic (CMR) substances in textiles and clothing will be effective November 1, 2020.
According to the guide:
"Information from public authorities and stakeholders' reports indicate the potential for consumers to be exposed to CMR substances present in clothing and related accessories, other textiles or footwear through contact with the skin or through inhalation. These products are widely available for use by consumers, including in a private capacity or when using a product within the context of a service provided to the general public (for example bedlinen in a hospital or upholstery in a public library). Therefore, in order to minimise such consumer exposure, the placing on the market of CMR substances in clothing and related accessories (including, inter alia, sportswear and bags), or footwear for use by consumers should be prohibited where the CMR substances are present in concentrations above a certain level. For the same reason, this restriction should also cover the situation where CMR substances are present in those concentrations in other textiles that come into contact with human skin to an extent that is similar to clothing (for example, bedlinen, blankets, upholstery or reusable nappies).

CBP Takes Aim at Forced Labor
CBP’s air, land and seaports processed more than 33 million imports last year. Shirts, shoes, lumber, electronics, dishes, eggplants, squid, coffee, bricks and soccer balls are just a sliver of the commerce worth a mind-boggling $2.4 trillion, making the U.S. the world’s second largest importer behind the European Union. While trade is more robust than ever, CBP cautions importers to be watchful about the source of their merchandise.
Importers receive their commodities at the end of long supply chains that can originate anywhere in the world—in many cases regions where oversight is lax or even nonexistent. Such conditions tempt some manufacturers, miners, commercial fishermen, farmers and other producers to squeeze more profit from their businesses on the backs of laborers, some as young as 5. Lured by fraudulent promises and tantalizing offers, these workers soon find themselves trapped into toiling long hours for a pittance in harsh, many times dangerous jobs.
“There are reports of families working in mines to pay off debt that could have gone back for generations,” offered Thomas Kendrick, a supervisory international trade analyst, noting that forced labor is on the rise. Confiscating passports, withholding wages and switching work contracts are a few of the ways workers are coerced to remain obligated to the employer, according to International Labour Organization research.
Some gold mine operators in Sudan and Uganda use children to slave in toxic, hot and confined spaces, according to Department of Labor findings. Tricked by traffickers promising great jobs, they soon find themselves stuck in remote locations with no way to escape, many times held by armed guards, added Jerry Malmo, the director of the Office of International Trade’s Civil Enforcement Division.
A particularly destructive practice is artisanal mining, common not only in Africa but in parts of Central and South America, where long wooden chutes built illegally along riverbanks separate gold from gravel and sand. The operation destroys both lives and the environment, as laborers then extract more flakes of the precious metal by mixing riverbank mud and mercury with their bare hands. What remains of the toxic muck is simply tossed into the river.
“Mercury poisons land and communities and has horrible health effects,” Malmo said. “That’s horrendous.” The gold is then smuggled out of the country to be refined and sold, cutting the supply chain from the source, he added.
During a September 2017 trip along the Amazon River in Peru, Malmo witnessed the structures. “The Peruvian coast guard patrols the river. They blow them up.”
For lots of merchandise and agricultural products, tracing supply chains to suspected forced labor can be challenging. Many times the chain dead ends at a legitimate producer who buys raw material possibly moved through multiple countries to hide the supply trail. Other times, products are fabricated by several subcontractors, making it difficult for importers to know if forced labor played a role in their business. Like a river fed by tributaries upon tributaries, there’s often no single source.
Malmo pointed to the garment industry in Bangladesh. “An NGO (nongovernmental organization) tried to identify all the factories. There were several thousand. Where would they fit into the supply chain?” Each factory is likely involved in just one process of making a shirt or other apparel. One shop does the cutting, another does stitching and another sews everything together, he explained, and forced labor could be part of one or none of those operations.
While victims can be found almost anywhere—even in the United States—most of the indentured work is found in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Seventy-five countries, including China, Russia, Thailand and India, are among the nations where forced labor exists, according to the Department of Labor.
The latest estimate by the International Labour Organization reveals about 25 million people in the world are trapped in forced labor. They produce 56 different goods that enter commerce, with sugarcane, cotton, coffee and tobacco, bricks and gold being the leading products, according to Department of Labor’s List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor.
Glowing promises of education, marriage and jobs are also used to entice foreigners to the U.S., then traffickers trap them by exploiting their fears of being caught without proper documentation. FBI investigations have shown that most forced labor in the U.S. is found in low-skilled jobs, temporary employment or in household domestic work. Sexually oriented businesses such as strip clubs and escort services are also destinations, according to the Justice Department’s National Strategy to Combat Human Trafficking report.
The Department of Labor cites numerous atrocities.
-
Vietnam’s National Child Labor Survey estimated more than 24,000 children produce beds, chairs, tables and other furniture.
-
In Uzbekistan, the government forces at least 45,000 of its farmers and rural families to cultivate cocoons for silk. The victims are compelled to sell the product back to the government at prices potentially too low to recover their costs. Payment can be delayed or not at all. Growers are threatened with fines, loss of their land or violence for missing quotas.
-
In Indonesia, about 1,500 commercial fishing cases of forced labor were uncovered since 2015, according to the International Organization for Migration. The laborers are mostly Cambodian, Lao and Burmese nationals forced to fish as much as 22 hours a day while held in bondage for up to 10 years. While at sea, threats and physical abuse is not uncommon and the fishermen are often locked in cells to prevent escapes.
-
In the Republic of the Congo, cobalt mining by child labor is widespread. Cobalt is used by the world’s largest carmakers for the batteries that power their electric vehicles. Amnesty International said 28 of the largest companies that use cobalt, including Microsoft and Renault are not adequately tracing their supply chains.

In the United Kingdom, authorities recently arrested a group of traffickers who forced Vietnamese girls and women to work in nail salons, reports USA TODAY. A British charity that set up a helpline in 2016 has dealt with over 1,000 cases of modern slavery, found largely in agriculture, construction, manufacturing and car washes.
For well over a century, the U.S. has taken steps to stop these imports beginning with the 1890 McKinley Tariff Act, that banned products made by prisoners. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 went a step further by prohibiting imports made by slaves and later, forced labor or children. But there was a catch: Goods made by forced labor could still be imported into the U.S. if those goods couldn’t be sufficiently provided domestically—cocoa or coffee beans, for instance.
In 2016, the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act removed the loophole, strengthening CBP’s authority to stop suspected shipments, explained Lesleyanne Koch Kessler, deputy associate chief counsel, enforcement and operations, for CBP’s Office of Chief Counsel. CBP expects importers to have procedures in place to show their goods comply with the law. Most of that consists of good record keeping, but she suspects many importers may not be checking to see if forced labor is involved with their merchandise.
Since the act was passed, CBP has detained several commodities from China—soda ash, calcium chloride, stevia and peeled garlic.
Enforcement can be a delicate task because CBP’s stated mission is to facilitate, not hinder commerce or unfairly scrutinize an importer or manufacturer who may be the target of false claims. At the same time, enforcement protects American businesses from unfair competition.
“The stakes have never been higher as we balance border security and trade facilitation in an increasingly competitive and complex global environment,” said CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan at June’s U.S. Chamber of Commerce Global Supply chain Summit. “The global supply chain is changing and CBP is changing with it.”
CBP’s Office of Trade added a Forced Labor Division in November 2017 to develop enforcement cases for the Office of Field Operations. At the same time, the division reaches out to stakeholders with webinars and other tools that help importers operate within the law. In August, CBP hosted a webinar with the Department of Labor, the State Department and Verité, a non-profit worker advocacy organization, to discuss CBP’s enforcement authority and supply chain due diligence. The event drew 300 participants.
Pushing back
CBP combats forced labor mainly through tips from the public, stakeholders and other agencies since goods made by forced labor look the same as legitimate shipments. “It’s hard to determine [by inspecting], Malmo said. Ultimately, it’s up to the importer to ensure their goods comply with the law.
Anyone can report suspicious shipments to the port director or the commissioner or through the e-allegation portal at https://eallegations.cbp.gov “Parties who provide original information that leads to the recovery of any penalty, fine or forfeiture of merchandise are eligible to seek compensation,” as much as $250,000, he said.
CBP also gathers forced labor intelligence by building relationships with those close to the issue—sales representatives, lawyers, account managers and associations such as the National Fishery Institute, said Gary Melofchik, assistant center director for CBP’s Agriculture and Prepared Products Center.
An officer’s knowledge of a particular industry can also provide clues. “If someone knows it takes 50 machines to make so many garments, but an inspection shows the shop has five, then where else did this production come from?” Melofchik noted. Clues are also found in shipping documents, such as bills of lading, invoices and packing lists. “If the price is way cheaper [than reasonable] that might be forced labor. The documents must match in detail and track to the origin,” he said.
CBP also audits importers. Audits can reveal an importer’s knowledge of forced labor and the steps being taken to oversee its supply chain. For example, auditors check records and related documents, interview company officials and look for clauses in vendor contracts warning against forced labor.
Audits are as much about education as inspection. “It’s a conversation about corporate responsibility, especially if they’re doing business in a country of risk,” explained Amy Moore, assistant field director at the Atlanta Field Office, who once worked for an importer. Importers should have a comprehensive and transparent social compliance system in place to combat child and forced labor.
Importers can refer to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development website for numerous publications discussing supply chain management and due diligence. The Department of Labor also assists importers in setting up a social compliance system with an app for preventing child labor and labor abuses in global supply chains along with other useful information.
A comprehensive program could include a framework of principled business practices that create a corporate culture against forced labor. This effort will advance the importer’s reputation and public standing, ultimately improving business. Importers need to make big investments to keep their supply chains clean, Moore said, “It’s a cultural shift.”

Monday is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
Monday, January 21, 2019, marks America's 34th celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr., Day. Honoring King with the sacred status of a federal holiday -- of which there are only ten, none other named for a 20th-century figure -- is a testament to the unifying power of his legacy. King's most important work applied America's Founding ideals to the cause of civil rights. The last best hope for true racial progress, King realized, was solidarity: For people to see and treat one another as equals, they had to feel the tugs of a bond far stronger than either race or politics. For King, that bond was America.

U.S., China complete trade meeting No definitive answers, but both sides remain open to discussion
Joint Statement of the Trilateral Meeting of the Trade Ministers of the European Union, Japan and the United States
The Ministers advanced discussions on their shared objective to address non market-oriented policies and practices of third countries that lead to severe overcapacity, create unfair competitive conditions for their workers and businesses, hinder the development and use of innovative technologies, and undermine the proper functioning of international trade, including where existing rules are not effective.
They reiterated their concerns, reviewed ongoing work, and agreed to deepen their cooperation in all areas covered by the Ministerial Statements issued in New York and Paris, including nonmarket policies and practices, market-oriented conditions, industrial subsidies and state-owned enterprises, forced technology transfer policies and practices, WTO reform and digital trade and e-commerce.
today's meeting, the Ministers discussed in particular:
concerns with non-market oriented policies and practices, Ministers took stock of the intensification of the exchange of information between them, the identification of additional criteria indicating market-oriented conditions, and confirmed that market-oriented conditions are fundamental to a fair, mutually advantageous global trading system and that their citizens and businesses operate under market-oriented conditions. The Ministers also confirmed their commitment to continue working together to maintain the effectiveness of existing WTO disciplines, including through ongoing WTO disputes.
industrial subsidies, Ministers instructed their staff to finalize trilateral text-based work in this area by spring in order to engage other key WTO Members after that, as appropriate.
the area of forced technology transfers, Ministers confirmed their agreement to cooperate on enforcement, on the development of new rules, on investment review for national security purposes and on export controls and further take stock of this cooperation by spring.
the reform of the WTO, the three partners submitted a joint transparency and notification proposal to the Council for Trade in Goods last November with other co-sponsors, and the Ministers agreed to intensify engagement with other trading partners to advance this proposal. They confirmed their agreement to work towards strengthening the regular committees' activities. They also reiterated their call on advanced WTO Members claiming developing country status to undertake full commitments in ongoing and future WTO negotiations.
The Ministers reaffirmed the importance of cooperating in facilitating digital trade and the growth of the digital economy and to enhance business environments through the promotion of data security. The Ministers confirmed their support for the timely initiation of WTO negotiations on trade-related aspects of electronic commerce that seek to achieve a high standard agreement with the participation of as many WTO members as possible.
Ministers look forward to further cooperation for the G20 Ministerial Meeting on Trade and the Digital Economy under the Japanese G20 Presidency.

Two Los Angeles Fashion District executives and their import-export company sentenced in scheme to launder money for drug cartels
Morad “Ben” Neman and Hersel Neman – the owners and top executives of Pacific Eurotex Corp., an import-export textile company based in the Los Angeles Fashion District – each received federal prison sentences today for their roles in a “Black Market Peso Exchange” scheme to launder money for international drug cartels.
The investigation into Pacific Eurotex was conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and IRS Criminal Investigation.
Morad “Ben” Neman, 58, of Westwood, the chief executive officer of Pacific Eurotex, was sentenced to two years in federal prison, to be followed by six months of home confinement. In addition to the prison term, Neman is jointly liable with the company to forfeit $3,178,230 million to the government.
Morad Neman pleaded guilty to conspiring to structure monetary transactions with a domestic financial institution, conspiring to defraud the United States by obstructing the lawful functions of the Internal Revenue Service, subscribing to and filing a false 2013 tax return that understated income he received from Pacific Eurotex, and aiding and assisting in the filing of another false 2013 tax return. When he pleaded guilty in December 2017, Morad Neman admitted to structuring frequent deposits of the cash in amounts less than $10,000 to avoid a bank reporting requirement that would have triggered the attention of law enforcement.
Hersel Neman, 59 of Beverly Hills, the chief financial officer of Pacific Eurotex, was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison, to be followed by six months of home confinement. He pleaded guilty to conspiring to launder money, conspiring to defraud the United States by obstructing the lawful functions of the IRS, and subscribing to and filing a false tax return. Hersel Neman is liable to forfeit approximately $370,000.
Pacific Eurotex itself was sentenced to three years of probation and was ordered to pay a fine of $400,000 for its conviction on charges of conspiring to launder money and conspiring to structure monetary transactions with a domestic financial institution.
Hersel Neman and Pacific Eurotex pleaded guilty in December 2017 to using the company to launder large amounts of cash that they deliberately ignored were drug trafficking proceeds. Both defendants admitted in court papers that they did not report to federal officials the receipt of the bulk cash.
The Neman brothers and their company were sentenced by U.S. District Judge John A. Kronstadt, who will issue a final order related to criminal fines for the three defendants.
This case was the result of an investigation into Fashion District businesses using “Black Market Peso Exchange” schemes to launder narcotics proceeds for international drug cartels. The Nemans were arrested in September 2014 on the same day that approximately 1,000 law enforcement officials executed dozens of search warrants in the Fashion District and seized more than $100 million in laundered drug money.
The Black Market Peso Exchange is one of the largest mechanisms which international drug cartels obtain the proceeds of illicit drug sales in the United States, according to court documents. This type of scheme allows drug traffickers who have their proceeds in U.S. currency to convert it to a different currency, such as Mexican pesos, via the sale of goods shipped across international borders.
In a typical Black Market Peso Exchange scheme, drug cartels sell their cash proceeds to a money broker who finds businesses in a foreign country that purchase goods from U.S. companies and who need dollars to pay for these goods. The money broker then arranges for delivery of the illegally-obtained dollars to U.S.-based vendors such as Pacific Eurotex. These dollars are then used to pay for the goods purchased by the foreign businesses. Once the goods are shipped to and sold by the foreign business, the money – now in the local, non-U.S. currency – is turned over to the money broker, who then pays the drug cartel in the foreign country’s local currency.
Pacific Eurotex received, laundered and structured approximately $370,000 in bulk cash delivered on four separate occasions over 2½ months in 2013 by an undercover agent posing as a money courier, according to court documents. The company laundered this money after being specifically advised by HSI special agents that bulk cash payments were frequently derived from illegal activity and that it was required to report cash transactions involving more than $10,000 in currency.
The defendants admitted in court documents that they instructed other people to deposit the cash into the personal Wells Fargo bank account of Hersel Neman’s wife. In total, 384 deposits totaling nearly $3.18 million were divided into increments of less than $10,000 to prevent Wells Fargo from filing a currency transaction report with the U.S. Treasury Department, according to court documents.
In September 2018, Mehran Khalili, 50, of Beverly Hills, who is a brother-in-law of Hersel Neman, was found guilty by a federal judge of one count of conspiracy to structure financial transactions to avoid detection by law enforcement. He faces a statutory maximum sentence of 10 years in federal prison when he is sentenced by Judge Kronstadt on January 31.
Another defendant in the case, Alma Villalobos, 56, of Arleta, pleaded guilty in March 2018 to one felony count of conspiracy to cause Pacific Eurotex to fail to file reports of currency transactions over $10,000 in a non-financial trade or business. She also faces a statutory maximum sentence of 10 years in prison at her sentencing hearing, which is scheduled for January 24.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Julie J. Shemitz, Jamie A. Lang and Puneet V. Kakkar of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force.
