Page 8 "For example, in cases of worker-paid

recruitment fees, we identify where workers migrated

from, how they were recruited, and the total fees

they paid during the recruitment process. Charging

workers recruitment and related fees is not permitted

under Amazon’s Supply Chain Standards. Where

fees were found to have been charged, we train our

suppliers to understand ethical recruitment practices

and implement plans to reimburse workers in full and

in a manner that protects workers and their families

from harm and retaliation. "

Mandatory overtimeWorkers were not provided sufficient notice of overtime in advance or were unable to refuse overtime without penalty, against international standards

None of the above is explicitly forced labour, therefore the answer is no
