The bill also would impose sanctions on people or entities that contribute to forced- labor practices in that region. Those actions would have insignificant effects on direct spending and revenues. The bill also would require the Department of State, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), and the Department of Treasury to report to the Congress on their efforts to address forced labor in the Xinjiang region. Satisfying those requirements would each cost less than $500,000 and total $1 million over the 2021-2026 period. Such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. Basis of Estimate On the basis of reports that some goods from the Xinjiang region are produced with forced labor, in January 2021, CBP began prohibiting imports from that region of cotton, tomatoes, and some products made from those items. On the basis of information from CBP, CBO expects that imports of additional products would be prohibited under the bill. Thus, U.S. suppliers and manufacturers would need to obtain such materials from a domestic producer See also CBO's Cost Estimates Explained, www.cbo.gov/publication/54437; How CBO Prepares Cost Estimates, www.cbo.gov/publication/53519; and Glossary, www.cbo.gov/publication/42994.
