Regulation (EU) 2024/3015 prohibits products made with forced labour—whether in the EU or elsewhere—from being placed or made available on the EU market, or exported from the EU. For manufacturers in Thailand, this means proving that every component and raw material in your final product is free from forced labour through every tier of your supply chain.

Forced Labour Ban Frequently Asked Questions
While full enforcement and penalties begin on December 14, 2027, EU buyers are already requiring 'origin evidence' and 'due diligence reports' to ensure their supply chains will remain compliant and uninterrupted.
The regulation applies to all products sold in the EU market, regardless of sector, industry, or company size. High-risk categories like electronics, textiles, and raw materials are often scrutinized first.
Non-compliance can lead to products being banned from the EU market, seized at the border, and destroyed. Each Member State sets its own financial penalties, which must be effective, proportionate, and dissuasive.
Manufacturers must provide a digital 'paper trail' including supply chain mapping (from raw materials to finished goods), supplier attestations, and validated origin documentation for every component.
LkSG and CSDDD are 'process' regulations focused on company due diligence. The Forced Labour Ban is a 'product' regulation—if forced labour is found anywhere in the chain, the product itself is banned, regardless of company size.
