Dear Customers,

 

U.S. Customs & Border Protection postponed this Region Alert until further notice while it works with impacted users to address their concerns. CBP is forming a working group to gather input from the trade community on this proposed change and to consider how to mitigate these concerns. Those interested in participating in this working group may contact CBP via email no later than November 10.

 

When deployed, the Region Alert will provide notification to importers of goods that may have been produced in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), which would be subject to UFLPA restrictions per H.R. 6256.  When the manufacturer’s country is China (MID), the system will generate an error message for the user to transmit the postal code.

 

This enhancement includes electronic data interchange (EDI) impacts.

What will change for trade users?

 

Three new validations will be applied when:

  • The People’s Republic of China (CN) is selected as a manufacturer’s country of origin for

Entry,

  • CN is selected as a manufacturer’s country of origin when a Manufacturer Identification

Code (MID) is created, or

  • An existing MID with Country of Origin ‘CN’ is updated.

 

The validations will be:

 

  • Postal code will be a required field.
  • Users will receive an error message if the postal code provided is not a valid Chinese

Postal code.

  • Users will receive a warning message when a Uyghur region postal code has been

provided.

 

For additional information on the UFLPA, please visit: https://www.cbp.gov/trade/forcedlabor/UFLPA

Good afternoon,

 

Please note that Monday is a Mexican holiday, Dia de la Revolucion, but in an effort to help the trade efficiently move cargo, Mexican customs WILL NOT be closing at 2 pm as previously announced.  They will work normal hours as a pilot to see if this will prevent long lines and delays before and after a holiday.  Please work with your supply chain partners to ensure that you take full advantage of this pilot program.

 

Have a great day.
