CBP Issues Withhold Release Orders Against Mitra Aneka Rezeki and Hardaya Inti Plantation
CBP has issued Withhold Release Orders (WROs) against Mitra Aneka Rezeki and Hardaya Inti Plantation, meaning goods produced by these entities — or incorporating their materials — will be detained at U.S. ports of entry on suspicion of forced labor in the supply chain. Importers of palm oil or related commodities should audit their supply chains for any connection to these Indonesian producers.
We read new WROs as immediate commodity-library review triggers; our position is that any entry we handle that could involve palm oil or derivatives sourced from Indonesia warrants heightened supply-chain documentation scrutiny in light of these two new orders.

Our position is general commentary on a published notice, not legal advice and not a binding opinion on any shipment. Nothing here creates a broker-client relationship or a duty of care, and it is not a substitute for a ruling, a licensed review of your facts, or the official notice itself.
