US lifts import ban on Brightway Group


KUALA LUMPUR: The United States has lifted a ban on Malaysian glove maker Brightway Group, allowing the firm to resume sales of its products in the country nearly three years after being sanctioned for alleged labour abuses.

The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) had barred imports of disposable gloves produced by three Brightway subsidiaries in December 2021 over suspected forced labour practices.

In a statement, the CBP said Brightway and its subsidiaries have been allowed to resume exports to the United States from Oct 11 after the company had “taken actions to fully remediate the forced labour indicators within its manufacturing process”.
