As part of United State's effort to fight against forced labor, President Biden signed into law The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) on December 23, 2021.
On March 18, 2023, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will deploy an enhancement to the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) to help establish an early notification to the importer that the products may have been produced in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), which will prohibit the entry of the shipment. To learn more about this enhancement, please go here.

*IMPORTANT*
Starting March 18, 2023, all manufacturer's with Country of Origin "China" (CN) must provide a valid Postal Code.
