A Withhold Release Order (WRO) is an order CBP issues when it has information reasonably indicating that a class of goods is made with forced labor. It lets CBP detain those goods at the port. It is a separate mechanism from the UFLPA Entity List.
When information gives CBP reasonable suspicion that merchandise is made wholly or in part with forced labor, CBP can issue a WRO. Port officers then detain shipments of that class of merchandise. A WRO stays in force until CBP revokes or modifies it — which can happen if an importer shows its supply chain is free of forced labor.
Both come from the same statute against forced-labor imports, but they work differently. A WRO targets a class of merchandise based on CBP's own findings. The UFLPA Entity List names specific companies and carries a rebuttable presumption. A supplier can be caught by one without appearing on the other, which is why a thorough check looks at both.
Importers of goods detained under a WRO can export or destroy the shipment, or try to show the goods are admissible. That last path is evidence-heavy supply-chain work, usually handled with specialist help.

Verdicts in this report are produced by deterministic code, not by a language model. The explanatory paragraph accompanying each check is model-generated and checked against the cited sources before delivery. No part of this report is reviewed by a person before it is issued, so every material finding and citation should be confirmed against the underlying government source before it is relied on.

The OFAC SDN and Consolidated lists, the other U.S. Consolidated Screening List constituents, the UFLPA Entity List, CBP withhold release orders, CPSC's eFiling list, and regulatory guidance are updated frequently and without prior notice. Users should re-screen periodically and consult qualified counsel for compliance decisions.
Name-similarity results do not establish or rule out the identity of any company. Where multiple similarly named records exist, none should be treated as confirmed without independent verification against the primary government source.
