How to Strengthen Forced Labor Compliance with CBP’s Updated WRO Modification Guidance
Global supply chains are under growing scrutiny—and for good reason. The prevalence of forced labor in the production of goods destined for the U.S. market has led to a surge in enforcement actions by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), including Withhold Release Orders (WROs) that can severely disrupt trade.
To help businesses navigate this landscape, CBP recently released a new WRO and Finding Modifications Guide. This updated guidance provides crucial direction for companies seeking to comply with U.S. trade law and avoid costly supply chain interruptions.
At GenuTrace, we know that real compliance starts with real traceability. Here’s what businesses need to know—and how forensic supply chain solutions can help ensure continuous compliance.
In today’s interconnected global economy, truly understanding your supply chain is no longer optional — it's essential. Companies must move beyond simple paper trails and undocumented claims to meet regulatory mandates, mitigate risks, and uphold consumer trust. GenuTrace specializes in cotton supply chain traceability by combining forensic science—including isotope analysis, chemical tracers, and material fingerprinting—with digital tools like blockchain, digital product passports and AI-powered mapping. Whether you're sourcing cotton, recycled materials, or personal care ingredients, GenuTrace offers tailored origin verification, transparency mapping, and strategic communications support.
The guiding question they ask every brand is: “If you claim it, can you prove it?” With GenuTrace, you gain defensible proof of origin, full traceability from source to shelf, compliance with laws like the UFLPA and EUDR, and a compelling way to tell a credible, differentiated brand story.
