CBP issues detention order on cotton products made by Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps using prison labor
(GDLSK) In a December 2, 2020 statement, CBP’s Office of Trade directed the issuance of a Withhold Release Order (“WRO”) against cotton and cotton products made by Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (“XPCC”) based on information that reasonably indicates its use of forced labor. As a result, CBP will detain shipments containing cotton and cotton products originating from XPCC (as well as from any subordinate and affiliated entities). The WRO extends to products that are made in whole or in part of the above cotton, including garments and other textile products. CBP officials have estimated that this action could ultimately impact billions of dollars of imports.
