The platform offers detailed risk information on forced labour connected to Chinese factories operating outside Xinjiang.
The move makes Pamir’s supply chain risk assessments, which focus on revealing forced labour linked to state-led labour transfer programmes involving Uyghur workers, directly available to officials tasked with enforcing US restrictions on goods suspected of links to forced labour.

According to the company, conventional supply chain traceability measures often fail to uncover these forced labour risks at direct supplier factories outside Xinjiang, leaving businesses exposed to UFLPA enforcement due to their involvement with transferred labour.
To bridge this gap, Pamir’s platform uses multilingual primary-source research to provide concrete evidence regarding workforce composition, recruitment processes, and the involvement of Chinese government agencies and intermediaries.
Pamir Solutions co-founder and director Daniel Murphy said: “Effective due diligence depends on being able to identify risk before it is apparent from conventional supply chain data. Pamir’s role is to help turn difficult, fragmented evidence into clear, entity-level intelligence. We are pleased to make that intelligence available to the DHS Entity List Office.”
The announcement comes after the US Department of Homeland Security expanded the UFLPA Entity List in August by adding 43 companies in the largest update since the law was enacted.
Listed entities were included for a range of activities, including recruiting or transferring workers from Xinjiang.
Under the UFLPA, US law presumes goods with ties to Xinjiang or listed entities are linked to forced labour and bars their import unless proven otherwise.
The DHS oversees the Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force, which maintains the Entity List, while US Customs and Border Protection manages enforcement of the import restrictions.
By granting DHS ongoing access to regularly updated investigations and risk assessments at the company and worksite level, Pamir says it aims to assist US regulators in monitoring and responding to forced labour risks as fresh evidence emerges.
