Certain minerals are processed for export in XUAR, and others are sold into intra-China supply chains (for example, to large Chinese battery makers).Therefore, any imports from China containing these materials are at risk of detention under UFLPA. This is especially true given recent reporting suggesting that critical minerals in XUAR may be produced and/or processed using forced labor.8 Citing such reports, on September 29, 2022, US lawmakers Michael T.
