CBP has started issuing Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act detention notices on aluminum products, according to a Jan. 31 client advisory from Maersk. “CBP has recently initiated enforcement efforts against aluminum products and will most likely focus on aluminum automotive commodities and other commodities classified in Chapter 76 (Aluminum and articles thereof),” Maersk said. “Companies importing aluminum products, or commodities with aluminum components, should be proactive in ensuring compliance with the UFLPA. This may include conducting due diligence on their supply chain and implementing compliance programs.”
A field will be available in the ACE Automated Broker Interface for customs brokers and other filers to transmit the Chinese postal code once the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Region Alert postal code requirement takes effect March 18, CBP’s Katie Woodson said during the agency’s bi-weekly ACE call. For China-origin entries after March 18, where the Chinese manufacturer ID is transmitted but the name and address of the manufacturer does not include the postal code, brokers and filers “will have the ability to input [that] information, and they can then input the postal code field that's missing,” Woodson said.

CBP released an updated ACE Development and Deployment Schedule on Jan. 30, making changes to its description of an upcoming requirement for filers to submit a Chinese postal code on the cargo release for goods of Chinese origin. The entry for the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Region Alert says the “specific applications impacted” by the new requirement will be the “Cargo Release (SE) application -- only for the Manufacturer (MF) party and only when the country is reported as the People’s Republic of China (CN) in the SE36 and/or SE56 record,” as well as the “Manufacturer Identification Code ($I) application -- when creating or updating a Manufacturer Identification Code with a city located in the People’s Republic of China (CN).” CBP also now says the “enhancement will provide the ability to update an existing MID with a postal code.” The anticipated deployment date remains March 18.
