Must Notify CPSC Before Exporting Non-complying Products
Under 16 CFR Part 1019, persons and firms are required to notify CPSC before exporting any product that fails to comply with an applicable standard or regulation enforced under the Consumer Product Safety Act, the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, or the Flammable Fabrics Act, as amended by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA).
CPSC is then required to transmit the information relating to the proposed exportation to the government of the country of intended destination.
Such Exports May be Prohibited Unless Accepted by Importing Country
In addition, for any consumer product that is not in conformity with an applicable consumer product safety rule, exports from the U.S. may be prohibited unless the importing country has notified CPSC that such country accepts the importation of such consumer product.
