The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) is a U.S. law about forced labor in China's Xinjiang region. It presumes that goods made wholly or in part there, or by a company on the UFLPA Entity List, are made with forced labor and barred from entry. The importer can rebut that, but the burden is theirs.

It was signed on December 23, 2021, and its presumption reaches goods imported on or after June 21, 2022. It also told the Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force to write a strategy for enforcing the U.S. ban on goods made with forced labor, a ban that dates back to the Tariff Act of 1930.
It's the core of the law. Goods mined, produced or made, wholly or in part, in Xinjiang, or by a company on the Entity List, are presumed made with forced labor and barred from entry. CBP doesn't have to prove forced labor was used; the importer has to show it wasn't.
Say you import solar panels assembled outside China, but their polysilicon came from Xinjiang. The panels were made in part there, so the presumption applies.
A high bar. The importer needs clear and convincing evidence, which CBP says means the claim is highly probable, that the goods weren't made with forced labor, plus full compliance with the task force's guidance and complete answers to CBP's questions. Or the importer can show the goods have no tie to Xinjiang or a listed company at all.
Either way, it's detailed supply-chain tracing, often back to raw materials, usually done with a customs attorney. An importer can also export or destroy detained goods instead, at its own cost.
No. The UFLPA is the law; the Entity List is one of the tools that carries it out. Goods from a listed company fall under the presumption, but so do goods tied to Xinjiang whose maker isn't named, and the list keeps growing. A supplier that isn't on it isn't cleared.
Because the presumption applies at the border and the burden falls on the importer, the time to check a supplier, and where its inputs come from, is before production and payment, not after a shipment is detained.
