CSMS # 62495807 - DHS Places New Additions to Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) Entity List  

UFLPA Entity List Will Now Restrict Goods from 75 PRC-Based Companies from Entering the United States.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the addition of two entities based in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) Entity List, bringing the total entities listed to 75. These additions build on DHS’s commitment to eradicate forced labor and promote accountability for the PRC’s ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity against Uyghurs and other religious and ethnic minority groups in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR). Furthermore, this update includes a technical correction to modify the name of one entity already on the UFLPA Entity List.

Baowu Group Xinjiang Bayi Iron and Steel Co., Ltd (“Xinjiang Bayi”), is engaged in iron ore mining and steel manufacturing. Changzhou Guanghui Food Ingredients Co., Ltd., produces and sells aspartame, an artificial sweetener and food additive. Changhong Meiling Co., Ltd. (formerly Hefei Meiling Co., Ltd.; Hefei Meiling Group Holding Limited), is principally engaged in the research and development, manufacture, and sales of household appliances.

Effective October 2, 2024, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will apply a rebuttable presumption that goods produced by Baowu Group Xinjiang Bayi Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., Changzhou Guanghui Food Ingredients Co., Ltd., and Changhong Meiling Co., Ltd., will be prohibited from entering the United States.
