To request release of a particular shipment, importers may submit evidence to the port of entry where the shipment is being detained, in accordance with 19 CFR 12.43. It is incumbent upon the importer to prove admissibility of the merchandise within three months, per 19 CFR 12.43.

Are there examples of information that CBP finds helpful in making this determination? For example, will CBP require chain of custody documentation?

Importers contending that merchandise detained under 19 CFR 12.42(a) was not produced with forced labor must submit the Certificate of Origin signed by the foreign seller as required by 19 C.F.R. 12.43(a), which may be submitted in electronic form, and a detailed statement from the importer, as outlined in 19 C.F.R. 12.43(b).

Guidance Concerning the Certificate of Origin:

• A standard Certificate of Origin is not acceptable. The required format for the certificate of origin is detailed in 19 CFR 12.43(a). This paragraph includes the exact wording of the certificate that should be signed by the seller/manufacturer.
• The statement required by 19 CFR 12.43(b) should be submitted by the importer, not the seller. The importer’s statement should be sufficiently detailed and include proof that the goods were not produced, wholly or in part, with forced labor.

Supporting documentation should trace the supply chain from the origin of the cotton or tomatoes, to the production and processing of downstream products, to the merchandise imported into the United States.
