Notes for this line

UFLPA: steel from China can be detained at the border: Under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, CBP presumes that goods made wholly or in part in Xinjiang, or by companies on the UFLPA Entity List, were made with forced labor and bars them from entry unless the importer proves otherwise with clear and convincing evidence. DHS lists "steel" among its high-priority sectors for enforcement. Before you ship, be ready to trace the inputs to their source, or the shipment can be held. This is not a duty and is not in the estimate.
