The European Commission's Guidelines on Regulation (EU) 2024/3015 clarify that the EU will ban products made with forced labour from its market starting 14 December 2027, with strong emphasis on risk-based due diligence aligned to OECD and ILO standards and broad investigative powers including state-imposed forced labour cases.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Supply Chain.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Compliance founders selling to or sourcing from the EU must urgently build traceability and risk-based due diligence to avoid market exclusion. This enforcement focus means old inventory and opaque supply chains become immediate liabilities.
