KUALA LUMPUR - Leading medical glove maker Top Glove Corporation has submitted information to prove it did not use forced labour, a US Customs official said on Wednesday , following an import ban on the company.

"Top Glove submitted an initial petition to CBP. CBP responded by identifying additional information needs. Dialogue between CBP and Top Glove is ongoing," the CBP said in an e-mail to Reuters.
