The US border and customs protection agency had halted its entry into the country based on what was an inaccurate allegation the shipments contained products produced using forced labour. The shipments have now been released. The company said it was working actively with the border patrol agency to resolve any potential issues with further shipments and would update the market "when appropriate progress is made".
