UFLPA Review Likely to Continue in Shutdown, at Slower Pace, Customs Lawyer Says

Entries will "likely continue to be detained" under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act during a government shutdown, and UFLPA detentions likely will continue to be reviewed, albeit at a much slower pace, said customs lawyer Ted Murphy in a blog post on Nov. 13. But it's still unclear exactly what "impact a government shutdown would have on UFLPA related activities, given that the law was not enacted during the last shutdown in December 2018-January 2019," Murphy said. Funding for the federal government expires on Nov. 17 (see 2311080006).
