Forced Labor Shipment Detentions Through June More Than All of FY21
CBP detained 2,010 shipments due to withhold release orders through June 30, the agency said in an update to its trade statistics page Aug. 19. CBP detained 1,469 shipments related to the WROs in fiscal year 2021. The value of the detained goods stopped in FY 2022 through June 30 is $357.8 million, it said. The value of detained goods in the previous fiscal year was $486 million.
CBP has said it likely will begin releasing some enforcement statistics related to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (see 2208030022), but so far the statistics page doesn't mention the UFLPA.
