The records are spread across too many places
Supplier documents, purchase records, transportation records, audits, screening results, and legal requests may sit in different systems, inboxes, portals, and folders.
FOR TRADE COMPLIANCE TEAMS
A shared operating workflow giving trade compliance teams greater insight.
The records needed to respond to UFLPA issues are often scattered across suppliers, systems, inboxes, brokers, and counsel.
Designed to work alongside your current systems, customs broker, legal team, and outside counsel.
The current process
Why the current process breaks down
- 01
There is a UFLPA issue
A shipment is detained, a supplier is flagged, a customer asks for proof, or legal identifies possible exposure.
- 02
Trade compliance starts gathering information
The team requests supplier records, purchase documents, transportation records, audits, screening results, and other supporting information.
- 03
The information arrives from different places
Documents come from suppliers, internal systems, brokers, business teams, shared drives, and outside advisors.
- 04
The team discovers information is missing
Some records are incomplete, outdated, inconsistent, difficult to verify, or have no clear owner.
- 05
Trade compliance coordinates review and follow-up
The team assigns missing work, tracks open questions, and prepares the information for legal, broker, or outside-counsel review.
Today, much of this coordination happens through spreadsheets, email, meetings, and manual document folders.
Trade compliance owns the response, but the information needed to respond is spread across different people and systems.
A UFLPA issue can begin with a detained shipment, a supplier relationship, an entity-list match, a customer request, or a legal inquiry. The response then depends on information held across different parts of the company and outside it.
No one can quickly see what is missing
Teams may know that documents have been requested without knowing whether they are complete, current, consistent, or ready for review.
Responsibility is divided across teams
Trade compliance may coordinate the work, but supply chain, sourcing, legal, brokers, suppliers, and outside counsel each control part of the answer.
The process becomes an emergency when there's a deadline
Missing records are often discovered only after a shipment, customer, broker, lawyer, or internal review has already created urgency.
Existing tools usually solve one part of the problem and the work between them is still manual.
Screening tools can flag risk. Supplier systems can store documents. Brokers can manage entry information. Legal teams and outside counsel can interpret the facts. But trade compliance teams may still have to connect those pieces through spreadsheets, email chains, shared folders, meetings, and repeated follow-up.

Manual work between them
Spreadsheets, email, shared folders, meetings, and repeated follow-up.
Nomira does not replace those systems or people. It makes the work between them more visible and manageable.
One shared view of the records, gaps, owners, and next steps behind the UFLPA workflow.
Nomira helps trade compliance teams manage the operational work that begins after a UFLPA issue is identified.
- 01
See which information has been collected
Keep a clear record of the documents and supporting information already available.
- 02
Identify what is still missing
Surface missing, outdated, inconsistent, or incomplete records before they create a last-minute problem.
- 03
Assign clear ownership
Show which supplier, team, broker, advisor, or internal stakeholder owns each open item.
- 04
Track the work through review
Follow requests, open questions, follow-up, and review status in one shared process.
- 05
Prepare information for expert review
Organize the factual record so legal teams and outside counsel can review it without reconstructing the process from scattered files.
Built around the trade compliance leader, with every required handoff in view.
THE PRIMARY USER
VP or Director of Trade Compliance
You are expected to coordinate the response, even when the records, systems, suppliers, and reviewers sit outside your direct control.
WHO ELSE IS INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS?
Trade compliance specialists
Find records, maintain trackers, follow up on missing information, and prepare materials for review.
Supply chain and sourcing
Control supplier relationships, upstream records, onboarding information, and operational follow-up.
Legal and outside counsel
Determine what can be relied upon, how information should be interpreted, and what may be used externally.
Customs brokers
Hold entry, shipment, and customs-process information and may coordinate requests during an active issue.
IT, security, and procurement
Determine whether data can be used and whether a new workflow can be responsibly adopted.
Show us where the current process breaks down for you.
The assessment begins with the workflow your team used to handle a recent UFLPA-related shipment, supplier, customer, broker, or legal matter. Nomira maps how the work moved across people, systems, documents, and advisors, then determines what works, what breaks, and how Nomira could improve your workflow.
- 01
Choose one recent situation
Use a detention, near miss, customer request, supplier review, entity concern, or preventive planning process.
- 02
Walk through what your team did
Explain who became involved, which records were needed, where they were stored, and how follow-up was managed.
- 03
Identify where the work slowed or broke down
Focus on missing information, repeated follow-up, unclear ownership, review delays, and manual work.
- 04
Determine how Nomira could help
If the problem matches the Nomira's focus, we may invite you into a deeper design-partner discussion.

Qualification note: Nomira is prioritizing teams with a specific, recurring workflow problem and the ability to involve the stakeholders required to evaluate it.
The enforcement environment is established. The operating process inside many importers remains difficult.
UFLPA creates a clear legal and enforcement trigger for exposed importers. Nomira’s focus is the internal work required to find, organize, review, and maintain the information needed when that trigger becomes relevant.
The legal trigger is active
UFLPA’s rebuttable presumption has applied since June 21, 2022 to covered goods linked to Xinjiang or entities on the UFLPA Entity List.
Operational relevance
For exposed importers, a supplier or entity relationship can create an immediate need to locate and review supporting records.
The scope continues to change
In the 2025 strategy update, 78 entities were added, bringing the UFLPA Entity List to 144. New high-priority sectors included caustic soda, copper, lithium, red dates, and steel.
Operational relevance
Changes in entities and sectors can create new work for companies that previously considered a supplier, product, or sourcing path acceptable.
Enforcement creates real operating work
DHS reported that, as of August 1, 2025, CBP had stopped more than 16,700 shipments valued at almost $3.7 billion for further examination under UFLPA.
Operational relevance
When a shipment is stopped, teams may have to gather supplier, purchase, transportation, audit, and sourcing information under significant time pressure.
Future context: the EU Forced Labor Regulation becomes applicable on December 14, 2027.
Start with the process, not sensitive documents.
The initial assessment asks for business context and a description of the workflow. It does not ask you to upload sensitive documents.
Do not include privileged, confidential supplier, personal, export-controlled, or other sensitive information in the initial request.
If a deeper review is appropriate, Nomira and the participating company must first agree on what information may be shared and how it should be handled.
Legal, security, procurement, broker, and outside-counsel participants can be included when the workflow requires them.
Nomira supports process organization. It does not provide legal advice or make compliance determinations.
Questions people ask before requesting an assessment.
Nomira is building a shared operating workflow for trade compliance teams managing UFLPA-related records, missing information, ownership, follow-up, and legal or outside-counsel review. Nomira is currently working with selected U.S. importers, and product access is not yet generally available.
When a UFLPA issue appears, the required information may be spread across suppliers, internal systems, inboxes, brokers, legal teams, and outside counsel. Trade compliance is expected to coordinate the response without a single view of what exists, what is missing, or who owns the next action.
The Nomira team reviews each request. If the company and workflow appear to fit the current focus, the team will contact you to reconstruct the process in more detail.
No. The assessment focuses on how information is collected, tracked, assigned, and prepared for review. Legal analysis and decisions about what may be relied upon or used remain with your legal team and outside counsel.
No. Nomira is designed to make the work between those systems and people easier to see and manage.
