Why do the TVPRA and EO Lists include goods that are not exported to the United States?
• ILAB’s research focused on all economic activity in the production of goods. Much child labor occurs in small-scale production of goods for local consumption, not in production of goods for the international market. Adequate data is not available on consumption patterns of goods made with forced labor. In many cases, ILAB did not have information about the ultimate consumers of the goods under review, and tracing goods from production to consumption is beyond the mandate of the Lists.
