The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) creates a rebuttable presumption that goods grown or produced, wholly or in part, in China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) are made with forced labor. This law takes effect June 21, 2022, meaning that as of that date all types of goods from any country that may have raw materials, components, or subcomponents made, or some type of processing done, in the XUAR will be banned from import into the U.S. unless the importer can establish by clear and convincing evidence that the goods were not made by forced labor.
The UFLPA paves the way for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to increase its enforcement efforts to combat forced labor. An enforcement plan that includes lists of high-risk entities is due to be released on the same day.
Join us for a discussion on what these enforcement efforts mean for exporters and importers into the US, as well as actions companies can take to avoid delays, detentions or penalties.
