On September 24, 2025 (U.S. Eastern Time), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued a Withhold Release Order (WRO) regarding Giant Group’s Taiwan manufacturing site, withholding the release of imports of related products into the United States.
In response, Giant Group has been committed to openness and transparency, and has taken multiple actions. As of October 2, the latest progress is as follows:
1. Active External Engagement
- On September 29, Giant formally engaged with CBP through its U.S. legal counsel and will arrange an official meeting in the near future.
- On September 30, Giant submitted formal letters to Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Labor, and Ministry of Economic Affairs, reporting the progress up to date and respectfully requesting assistance.
- In parallel, the Group has been actively communicating with key international partners to safeguard supply chain stability and market confidence.
2. Continued Implementation and Strengthening of Measures
With regard to labor and human rights concerns raised externally, including the adopted Zero Recruitment Fee Policy and the upgraded employee housing conditions, Giant continues to monitor and audit their implementation, ensuring that protections are aligned with international standards and institutionalized.
3. Public Commitment
Giant Group sincerely appreciates the concern and support from the public regarding this matter. Upholding our principles of openness, transparency, and accountability, we will proactively report progress to regulators, partners, and the public, and ensure that all related issues are properly addressed in accordance with international standards.
