CBP CSMS Messages and Web Postings
CBP has issued a notice stating that 19 USC 1307 prohibits the importation of goods produced by convict, forced or indentured labor. When information available reasonably, but not conclusively, indicates that merchandise within the purview of this provision is being imported, the Commissioner of Customs issues detention orders, pursuant to 19 CFR 12.42(e). See CBP's notice for a list of finding and detention orders that have been issued. (Notice, dated 03/25/08, available at http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/trade/trade_outreach/convict_importations.xml)
