This notice is requesting volunteers who would like to participate in this working group. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is planning to deploy a Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) Region Alert enhancement to the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). The deployment date has not yet been established. This enhancement will provide an early notification to importers of goods that may have been produced in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) which would be subject to UFLPA restrictions per H.R. 6256. This law strengthens the prohibition against the importation of goods made with forced labor and was signed into law on December 23, 2021. This enhancement includes electronic data interchange (EDI) impacts. See the ATTACHMENT for specific details on the working group and how to request participation.
