Webinar | Forced Labor Statute Update - Prepare Your Transatlantic Business to Comply with the New Rules

Wed. July 27, 2022 10:00 am - 11:00 am !Online

With the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (“UFLPA”) coming into effect, alongside of new European legislation, importers and exporters alike will face increased scrutiny with customs officials at US and European entry points. On both sides of the Atlantic multi-agency Forced Labor Enforcement Task Forces are developing strategies and have provided new guidance to importers on additional due diligence and documentation required on account of the new law.

To stay on top of the latest developments, both in Europe as well as in the United States, and to be able to continue to move product effectively across borders, it is incumbent upon importers to develop programs to identify possible forced labor issues within their supply chains (or revisit existing programs).

AGENDA:
● How to prepare your transatlantic business to meet the new regulatory requirements
● The “wholly or in part” concept and what that means for the products affected
●  Groups affiliated to XUAR and what that means for you
● High-priority sector lists and how to address them
● Requirements for proof, best practice on due diligence models and compliance with FLETF Strategy and Customs & Border Protection guidance
● Evidence and documentation required to obtain release of goods detained under the UFLPA vs the Withhold Release Order (WRO)
● Know Importer Letters and notification by CBP as it relates to possible future administrative actions (incl. seizure, forfeiture, penalties and suspension or removal from the C-TPAT program).

In this webinar you will learn how to develop systems to map each tier of your supply chains, how to conduct related due diligence, how to identify potential areas of concern and what means are there to ensure that supply chain partners provide supporting documentation.
