A total of 1,197 shipments of goods from Vietnam into the US have been denied entry to the USA under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), according to The Investor. The Vietnamese publication says this data covers June 2022 to November 2023.

Of note, it has become common for Chinese firms to try and circumvent US trade barriers–antidumping and countervailing duties and what not–by rebranding their goods made in Vietnam and shipping them to the US through their neighbour to the south. This could be problematic for Vietnam in that it may find genuine made in Vietnam goods are denied by association.
