DHS Places New Additions to Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) Entity List

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 62495807 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (operational), published on October 2, 2024. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "DHS Places New Additions to Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) Entity List". CSMS messages are the operational layer between Commerce determinations and at-the-border collections: when Commerce publishes a new rate, scope ruling, or instruction, CBP turns it into a CSMS that ACE/ACS systems and brokers act on.

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.

CBP published CSMS 62495807 on October 2, 2024. The bulletin's instructions are typically operative as of the publication date unless the body specifies a different effective date.

Is the CBP CSMS the legally binding instruction?

Yes — for at-the-border filing and entry collection. CSMS messages translate Commerce's Federal Register determinations into operational CBP instructions that ACE/ACS systems and brokers execute. The Federal Register notice is the underlying legal authority; the CSMS is the operational implementation. Both should be read together when reconciling a rate or scope change.
