The US Senate on Thursday passed the final version of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, which bans importing goods made with forced labor in China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, APA reports citing Sputnik.
The Senate passed the measure by unanimous consent and now has sent it to President Joe Biden to sign it into law.
The House of Representatives passed the bill earlier this week by a voice vote.
The legislation targets "goods, wares, articles, and merchandise imported directly from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region or made by Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Tibetans, or members of other persecuted groups in China."
