What the record establishes
A Federal Register notice effective 12 June 2024 added Shandong Meijia Group, also known as Rizhao Meijia Group, to the UFLPA Entity List. The relevant government determination concerns labor-transfer practices.16
Why it matters
explain why a product’s processing history matters separately from where the fish was caught. This action does not establish that all input seafood was illegally harvested or that every overseas buyer knowingly participated.
The sequence
Period covered by this record
Read the cited findings and their stated limits. This is a dated case or context record, not live vessel monitoring.16
Responses and legal posture
The linked record does not establish a separate response obtained by this project. No outreach was conducted for this file.
What remains unresolved
verify current listing status, identify documented plants and shipments, and separate harvest, processing and export countries. The live UFLPA list was not independently verified for this dossier; the 2024 listing is the established event.
Government listing criteria concern labor transfers; do not broaden beyond determination
