    CBP released consolidated forced labor enforcement guidance for importers

    CBP announced a new Forced Labor Enforcement Operational Guidance document that consolidated its enforcement authorities under 19 U.S.C. 1307, UFLPA, and CAATSA into one reference. The guidance added enforcement process maps, step by step response guidance for detentions and exclusions, and appendices with sample supply chain documentation and notices. CBP encouraged importers to review the guidance and conduct supplier due diligence before importing goods.

    Show Allied's position

    This was a reference document, not a new legal requirement, so it did not change how we file entries. We encourage clients importing goods from high risk sectors or regions to review their supplier documentation and ask us to check whether any of their entries have faced or could face detention or exclusion. Later CSMS messages may have added enforcement actions, so clients with specific shipments should ask Allied to review their entries.
