U.S. Seizes Shipment Of Human Hair Products Believed Made In Chinese Detention Camps
U.S. customs officials have seized a shipment of products made from human hair believed to have been produced by Muslims held in labor camps in Chinaโs western Xinjiang Province.
The production of the goods โconstitutes a very serious human rights violation," said Brenda Smith, executive assistant commissioner for trade at the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP).
The products were part of an $800,000, 13-ton shipment from Lop County Meixin Hair Product Company, the CBP said in a statement. CBP has ordered that the company's goods be held on grounds it uses prison and forced labor, including children.
Smith said the detention order, dated June 17, is intended to send a message to all entities seeking to do business with the United States โthat illicit and inhumane practices will not be tolerated in U.S. supply chains."
