US Customs lifts import ban on Supermax gloves


KUALA LUMPUR: The import ban on Supermax Corp Bhd's disposable gloves in the US has been lifted following the remediation of forced labour indicators in the company's supply chain.

The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced in a Sept 19, 2023, statement it had modified the withhold release order (WRO) issued on Oct 21, 2021, and will allow imports of disposable gloves manufactured by Supermax and its wholly-owned subsidiaires effective immediately.
