CBP has issued several WROs related to forced labor allegations within the last year. CBP has noted that this order is based on information that reasonably indicates the use of detainee or prison labor and situations of forced labor throughout the XUAR.<\/p>\n<p>Importers of detained shipments will have an opportunity to export their shipments or submit proof to CBP that they were not produced with forced labor or are not covered by this WRO.<\/p>\n<p>Importers are responsible for ensuring the products they are attempting to import are not\u00a0products of forced labor at any point in their supply chain, including the production or harvesting of raw materials.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions, please <a href=\"https:\/\/noatumlogistics.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=8951580316fc7f4fec4b48f3e&amp;id=f642691a50&amp;e=8818f60831\">contact your local Noatum Logistics USA representative<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On January 13, 2020, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced in a press release that a region-wide Withhold Release Order (WRO) for cotton and tomato products made by slave&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":16077,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[357,358],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-regulatory-updates","category-supply-chain-alerts"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
