CBP Launch of the Forced Labor Portal

Dear Client,

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has launched a new Forced Labor Portal that centralizes the submission process for review requests related to shipments detained or excluded under forced labor enforcement actions.

Effective January 21, 2026, use of this portal is mandatory for the following review types:

• Withhold Release Order/Finding admissibility reviews
• Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) applicability reviews
• UFLPA requests for exception
• Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) exception requests

Portal Access & Resources:

• Portal Login: https://flportal.cbp.gov/s/login/
• Quick Reference Guide: https://www.cbp.gov/document/guides/how-submit-review-requests-forced-labor-portal
• Instructional Video: https://www.dhs.gov/medialibrary/assets/video/61282
• Additional resources available at: www.cbp.gov/trade/forced-labor

For questions about the portal itself, CBP has designated ForcedLabor@cbp.dhs.gov as the point of contact.

If you have questions or require assistance, our support team is available at service@customscity.com.

Thank you for your continued partnership with CustomsCity. We remain committed to supporting your compliance operations.

Warmest Regards,
