Last week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) held a news conference to talk about importers’ compliance with the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), the stringent law enacted last year that bars products wholly or partially made in China’s Xinjiang region from entering the United States.
CBP is responsible for enforcing the UFLPA, under which importers don’t get the benefit of the doubt; products coming out of Xinjiang are presumed to have been made using forced labor, and it must be convincingly proven that they weren’t.
