Can You Prove Where Your Raw Materials Are Coming From?

If you're importing silicon or cotton-based products from China, this video could save your business from compliance disasters. The UFLPA (Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act) has changed everything. It's no longer enough to verify your direct suppliers—you need to trace your supply chain all the way back to the source. And for many products, that means going deeper than anyone expected. In this episode of Supply Chain Signals, Billy Miner sits down with Insight Quality Services founder Andy Church to discuss: 🔍 Why traceability audits are now mandatory (not optional) 📋 What auditors actually look for beyond paperwork 🏭 How to get reluctant suppliers to cooperate ⛏️ Why we're now auditing actual quartz mines 📊 How far upstream you really need to go for compliance 🚀 First steps for companies new to traceability audits Key Takeaway: The days of hoping compliance issues will go away are over. Traceability requirements will only increase, and the companies that get ahead of this now will have a massive competitive advantage. Whether you're just starting to think about supply chain traceability or you're already conducting audits, this conversation provides actionable insights you can use immediately.
