UFLPA and forced labor: every CBP message
The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), in force since June 21, 2022, presumes that goods made wholly or partly in Xinjiang, or by entities on the UFLPA Entity List, were made with forced labor and may not be imported under Section 307 of the Tariff Act. Importers can seek an exception only with clear and convincing evidence.
CBP’s CSMS messages on UFLPA cover additions to the Entity List, detentions and how to respond, and the documentation CBP expects.
