https://www.regulatoryoversight.com/2023/02/new-dod-rule-limits-ppe-from-china-and-other-foreign-nations/ On January 30, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) issued an interim procurement rule, prohibiting the procurement of personal protective equipment (PPE) from four “non-allied” countries: China, North Korea, Russia, and Iran. Effective January 31, the draft interim rule implements the restrictions in the 2022 and 2023 National Defense Authorization Acts (NDAA), which limit the acquisition of “covered items” like PPE and “sanitizing and disinfecting wipes, testing swabs, gauze, and bandages.” The restrictions (1) boost public health in the U.S., (2) encourage the expansion of domestic capacity to produce PPE, (3) enhance U.S. national security by reducing PPE dependence on these countries, and (4) reduce the influx of counterfeit PPE items into the U.S. The ban on covered items does not apply to PPE procurement used outside of the U.S. or if the maximum procurement value is under $150,000.
Currently, US is rely on imported glove, so they welcome the cheap price glove from China. Moving forward, once there are more n more manufacturer setup in US, US will start to impose the Anti Dumpling Law against China, because those China Manufacturer are selling their product below their own cost, so this is not fair to US Glove Player. By that time, China player will be force to increase their price and they will become less competitive. And Supermax US Factory will be benefit from this.
Move on, guys. You are just gambling on a pathetic counter, where the script has written since 2021. This might moves on till 2025, or maybe longer. So, why parked your funds here while you can roll somewhere else for better ROI? The longer you parked here, the louder you cry.
US lifts import ban on Supermax over forced labour concerns
KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 20): The US allowed imports from Supermax Corp Bhd, after customs authorities lifted a ban imposed on the company since October 2021 for alleged forced labour.
In a statement on Tuesday, the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said effective immediately, the agency will allow imports of disposable gloves manufactured by Supermax Corp and its wholly owned subsidiaries to enter the US, provided they are otherwise in compliance with US laws.
The CBP on Oct 21, 2021, issued a withhold release order (WRO) against Supermax Corp and its wholly owned subsidiaries (Supermax Glove Manufacturing, Maxter Glove Manufacturing Sdn Bhd and Maxwell Glove Manufacturing Bhd).
CBP Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Commissioner Troy A Miller said the action underscores the ongoing impact of CBP’s enforcement efforts in driving remediation and eliminating forced labour from supply chains.
“Everyone is entitled to humane and dignified treatment in the workplace, no matter who they are or where they live, and that’s why this work matters,” said Miller.
CBP began enforcing the WRO against Supermax Corp and its wholly owned subsidiaries based on evidence reasonably indicating the presence of 10 of the 11 International Labour Organization indicators of forced labour.
In response to the WRO, the company demonstrated to CBP that it has taken steps to remediate the forced labour indicators identified in its supply chain.
Meanwhile, CBP’s Office of Trade's Executive Assistant Commissioner AnnMarie R Highsmith said the agency’s vigilance on this issue is showing the industry and the world that it is fully committed to elevating the ethical standard of goods entering the US and ending forced labour.
Thus far in fiscal year 2023, CBP has issued four modifications.
CBP said forced labour enforcement efforts have resulted in the improvement of living and working conditions for tens of thousands of workers, including the repayment of more than US$50 million (RM234.72 million) in withheld wages and recruitment fees used to trap workers in debt bondage.
At the time of writing, Supermax Corp gained 1.23% or one sen to 82 sen with 1.66 million shares traded.

Insider news, TopGlove coming QR will be worst than expectation , it will cause the bad market sentiment toward glove counters , good luck guys.........
Good morning, another Q of bad results for TG, the future of the glove counter is worsening. Now is not the time to hear cock N bull stories of glove company owners.
Who else dare to buy a counter that has no credibility, especially the boss got case before. US' factory is just a smokescreen only. Release good news once in a while, especially when the market is stagnant, just to trap more inside.
