MELAKA: The world’s biggest rubber glove manufacturer, Top Glove Corp Bhd is working to address the detention order imposed by the United States (US) Customs on imports from two of its subsidiaries to ensure undisrupted supply of rubber gloves supply amidst the global COVID-19 crisis.
Senior Minister cum International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said the company is currently engaging with US authorities after the US Customs placed Top Glove Sdn Bhd and TG Medical Sdn Bhd on its Withhold Release Order list; a move taken against firms suspected of using forced labour.
He said the ministry hopes that the US administration would be able to assess the issue involving the foreign workers fairly. "This has happened before, and once the explanation was given to the US administration, they had lifted the ban and allowed the goods to enter the US," he told reporters here on Saturday.
However, the company said it had already borne all recruitment fees since January 2019 when its Zero Recruitment Fee Policy was implemented.
