TITLE 15--COMMERCE AND TRADE
CHAPTER 47--CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY
Sec. 2067. Exemption of exports
(a) Risk of injury to consumers within United States
This chapter shall not apply to any consumer product if (1) it can
be shown that such product is manufactured, sold, or held for sale for
export from the United States (or that such product was imported for
export), unless (A) such consumer product is in fact distributed in
commerce for use in the United States, or (B) the Commission determines
that exportation of such product presents an unreasonable risk of injury
to consumers within the United States, and (2) such consumer product
when distributed in commerce, or any container in which it is enclosed
when so distributed, bears a stamp or label stating that such consumer
product is intended for export; except that this chapter shall apply to
any consumer product manufactured for sale, offered for sale, or sold
for shipment to any installation of the United States located outside of
the United States.
(b) Statement of exportation: filing period, information; notification
of foreign country; petition for minimum filing period: good
cause
Not less than thirty days before any person exports to a foreign
country any product--
(1) which is not in conformity with an applicable consumer
product safety standard in effect under this chapter, or
(2) which is declared to be a banned hazardous substance by a
rule promulgated under section 2058 of this title,
such person shall file a statement with the Commission notifying the
Commission of such exportation, and the Commission, upon receipt of such
statement, shall promptly notify the government of such country of such
exportation and the basis for such safety standard or rule. Any
statement filed with the Commission under the preceding sentence shall
specify the anticipated date of shipment of such product, the country
and port of destination of such product, and the quantity of such
product that will be exported, and shall contain such other information
as the Commission may by regulation require. Upon petition filed with
the Commission by any person required to file a statement under this
subsection respecting an exportation, the Commission may, for good cause
shown, exempt such person from the requirement of this subsection that
such a statement be filed no less than thirty days before the date of
the exportation, except that in no case shall the Commission permit such
a statement to be filed later than the tenth day before such date.
