The U.S. Department of Labor has issued an an updated list of products by country of origin where there is a reasonable basis to believe might have been mined, produced, or manufactured by forced or indentured child labor.

Under a 2001 final rule by the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council, federal contractors who supply products on this list are required to certify, among other things, that they have made a good faith effort to determine whether forced or indentured child labor was used to produce the item. Specifically, the contractor must certify to the contracting officer that the contractor, or, in the case of an incorporated contractor, a responsible official of the contractor, has made a good faith effort to determine whether forced or indentured child labor was used to mine, produce or manufacture any product furnished under the contract and that, on the basis of those efforts, the contractor is unaware of any such use of child labor.
