The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) is a U.S. law that presumes goods mined, produced, or manufactured wholly or in part in China's Xinjiang region, or by a company on the UFLPA Entity List, are made with forced labor and barred from entry — unless the importer rebuts that presumption.
The UFLPA was enacted on December 23, 2021, and its rebuttable presumption took effect on June 21, 2022. It directs the Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force (FLETF) to develop a strategy for enforcing the prohibition on importing goods made wholly or in part with forced labor in China, especially in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. The underlying import ban is Section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930, codified at 19 U.S.C. § 1307.
The core of the UFLPA is a rebuttable presumption. Goods mined, produced, or manufactured wholly or in part in Xinjiang, or by an entity on the UFLPA Entity List, are presumed to be made with forced labor and prohibited from U.S. importation. The presumption applies at the border: CBP does not have to prove forced labor was used — the burden sits with the importer to show it was not.
CBP sets a high bar to rebut the presumption. An importer must provide clear and convincing evidence that the goods were not made wholly or in part with forced labor — a standard CBP describes as higher than a preponderance of the evidence, meaning the claim is highly probable. Alongside that evidence, the importer must fully comply with the FLETF's Guidance to Importers in the UFLPA Strategy, and respond satisfactorily to all CBP inquiries about the supply chain.
In practice this is detailed supply-chain tracing, often back to raw materials, and it is legal and compliance work usually handled with a customs attorney. Importers can also export or destroy detained goods instead of contesting.
The UFLPA is the law; the UFLPA Entity List is one of the tools that carries it out. The FLETF maintains the list, and merchandise from a listed entity is subject to the Act's rebuttable presumption. But the presumption is broader than the list: goods tied to Xinjiang can be caught even when the specific supplier is not named, and the list grows over time. A supplier not appearing on it is not an all-clear.
Because the presumption applies at entry and the burden of rebutting it falls on the importer, the practical time to check a supplier — and where its inputs come from — is before production and payment, not after a shipment is detained. CBP leads enforcement, and a detention runs on a short clock.
