The U.S. government has issued a warning to businesses that they may be sanctioned if North Korean companies or slave-like laborers are found in their supply chains. The July 23 advisory describes the tactics used by North Korean companies to conduct business despite sanctions, in an effort to help businesses ensure they are not in violation.
According to the advisory, “businesses should be aware of deceptive practices employed by North Korea” to ensure they are not sanctioned for their connections. It notes the “evasive tactics used by North Korea that could expose businesses” include using manufacturers, buyers, and service providers.
