Enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act

The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) went into effect on June 21, 2022.

The UFLPA has three key provisions:

1. It creates a rebuttable presumption that all items produced, in whole or in part, in the Xinjiang region of China are made with forced labor.
2. It requires Customs and Border Protection to create an Entity List of companies believed to use forced labor.
3. Products covered by the presumption are prohibited from importation into the United States.

Watch as George W. Thompson discusses how these new requirements present enforcement challenges for CBP and compliance challenges for importers.
