Guidance concerning the movement of detained cargo for storage
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) today issued guidance concerning the movement of detained cargo for storage.
According to the CBP release—CSMS # 57200992—importers or authorized filers may submit a request to the port director at which their cargo is detained pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1307 (e.g., withhold release orders, the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, and the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act) to move detained cargo to a customs bonded warehouse for storage pending resolution by CBP or the importer.
Importers or their authorized filers may not move detained goods suspected of being made with forced labor into a foreign trade zone for storage.
