It was on 31st May this year, the US Administration, Department of Labour issued yet another Executive Order that bars the tainted countries to engage in trade with the US Federal Government in the notified sectors. India is included in this list under three categories, including apparel. With the US having issued a formal statement on child labour, brands would be made accountable for their trade with India. They would be given a cautious notice by the US specifying they must do due-diligence before engaging in trade with India. India has been blacklisted for the third consecutive year by the US Government for engaging child labour in its apparel export industry, raising doubts over future sourcing deals with global brands. The country has continuously been named in the Executive Order List for the last three years, despite several attempts by the exporters to convince the US authorities otherwise.
