International Business & Trade attorney Matt Lapin spoke at the American Conference Institute's 11th Advanced Forum on Import Compliance & Enforcement on Nov. 8 in Washington, D.C. He presented alongside Eric Choy of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Jerry Cook of Hanesbrands, Inc. on the topic of, "Working with UFLPA’s Interagency Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force (FLETF) Amid an Intensified Enforcement Landscape: What they are Looking for and How to Foster Positive Working Relationships."

Among its mandates, the UFLPA charged the Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force (FLETF), chaired by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), to develop a strategy for supporting the enforcement of the UFLPA. How will this input influence ethe scope of the FLETF’s enforcement strategy? How will the FLETF incorporate input from public and private stakeholders? This session will bring clarity to the FLETF’s enforcement postures, as well as to working with all the agencies involved to avoid penalties.
