UFLPA Attachment to the Notice of Detention

To increase transparency, CBP sends an UFLPA Attachment to the Notice of Detention or ‘Addendum’ as a supplement to a CBP detention notice issued to an importer upon detention of their shipment under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA). CBP attaches the Addendum as an effort to provide importers examples and best practices from former reviews that may be helpful in providing supply chain documentation to request an Applicability Review.

The Addendum provides examples of documentation importers may consider providing to CBP, if they wish to prove their goods are not made in whole or in part with forced labor and to secure release of their shipment. It is important to note that this list is not exhaustive nor is it a reflection of the entirety of CBP’s efforts to enforce the UFLPA to ensure goods made with forced labor are not imported into U.S. commerce.
