# CBP Issues Withhold Release Orders on Indonesian Palm Oil

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued Withhold Release Orders (WROs) against palm oil and derivative products imported from Mitra Aneka Rezeki and Hardaya Inti Plantation in Indonesia due to findings of forced labor violations. These WROs mandate that CBP personnel at all U.S. ports detain shipments of these products immediately, enforcing U.S. laws that prohibit the importation of goods produced with forced labor. This action underscores the agency's commitment to supply chain integrity and compliance with labor standards in international trade.

- Procurement professionals should be aware that imports from these Indonesian producers are currently barred entry, impacting supply chain sourcing and vendor eligibility.
- Contractors and suppliers involved in palm oil or derivative products must ensure compliance with forced labor regulations to avoid shipment detentions and potential legal risks.
- This enforcement highlights the importance of due diligence and labor compliance verification in procurement processes involving international suppliers.
- Organizations engaged in importing agricultural commodities should evaluate their supply chains for forced labor risks and consider alternative sourcing strategies to mitigate disruptions.
