The bureau, commonly known as ILAB and within the Labor Department, produces a report every few years on goods that are suspected to contain the worst forms of child labor, or have been made with forced labor (see 2209280025). It also publishes allegations meant to inform that report, such as last month's allegation that saffron from Afghanistan is processed with child labor. That report is one of the resources used to inform the work of the Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act.
The Labor Department did not confirm or deny the contract.
Sayari noted it is paid $7.8 million by CBP to support global supply chain risk analysis.
