UFLPA was signed into law December 31, 2021, and seeks to prohibit imports of certain goods from China&#8217;s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, where it has been reported that the Chinese government is using forced labor of Uyghur Muslims and other ethnic and religious minorities in detention camps and factories.

See the screenshot of the new dashboard below and note that the countries of export most targeted are NOT China, contrary to popular belief. This is partly due to the fact that most UFLPA enforcement to date has been on solar panels, which may include Chinese-origin raw materials but are generally further manufactured outside of China. Notably, CBP is actively tracking many different types of products across many different industries with raw materials that originate in China and that are further manufactured in other countries for forced labor enforcement. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diaztradelaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image2-1.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone wp-image-6798 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diaztradelaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image2-1.png?resize=979%2C646&#038;ssl=1\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/diaztradelaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image2-1-300x198.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"979\" height=\"646\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27979%27%20height%3D%27646%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20979%20646%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27979%27%20height%3D%27646%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diaztradelaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image2-1.png?resize=200%2C132&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diaztradelaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image2-1.png?resize=300%2C198&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diaztradelaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image2-1.png?resize=400%2C264&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diaztradelaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image2-1.png?resize=500%2C330&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diaztradelaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image2-1.png?resize=600%2C396&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diaztradelaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image2-1.png?resize=700%2C463&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diaztradelaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image2-1.png?resize=768%2C507&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diaztradelaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image2-1.png?resize=800%2C529&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diaztradelaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image2-1.png?w=958&amp;ssl=1 958w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 979px) 100vw, 979px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Summary of Technologies Announced at the Expo<\/span><\/i><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:480}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Below is a summary of the vast array of <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">technolog<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">ies discussed at the Expo, <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and big data analytics<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> to identify goods produced using forced labor.

UFLPA was signed into law December 31, 2021, and seeks to prohibit imports of certain goods from China&#8217;s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, where it has been reported that the Chinese government is using forced labor of Uyghur Muslims and other ethnic and religious minorities in detention camps and factories. For more information about the UFLPA, please see our previous blog articles here and here. \u00a0 CBP Data Dashboard\u00a0\u00a0 CBP launched a UFLPA data dashboard where the trade community can now monitor forced labor enforcement by origin, commodity, CBP Center of Excellence and Expertise, and more. See the screenshot of the new dashboard below and note that the countries of export most targeted are NOT China, contrary to popular belief. This is partly due to the fact that most UFLPA enforcement to date has been on solar panels, which may include Chinese-origin raw materials but are generally further manufactured outside of China. Notably, CBP is actively tracking many different types of products across many different industries with raw materials that originate in China and that are further manufactured in other countries for forced labor enforcement. \u00a0 Summary of Technologies Announced at the Expo\u00a0 Below is a summary of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[117,751,61,1081,601,16],"tags":[1265,130,376,1266,340,1195,1211],"class_list":["post-6794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-china","category-forced-labor","category-international-trade","category-reasonable-care","category-supply-chain","category-cbp","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-cbp","tag-forced-labor","tag-machine-learning","tag-supply-chain","tag-uflpa","tag-xinjiang"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Summary of CBP\u2019s March 2023 Forced Labor Technical Expo - Customs &amp;
