| Title: ●Import Regulations Regarding Sampling, Examination, Reconditioning, and Refusal of Admission of Products Imported Into the United States | |
| Abstract: Section 17 of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) and section 14 of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) contain provisions relating to the sampling, examination, reconditioning, and refusal of admission of products imported or offered for import into the United States. Current regulations governing the administration of imports are found at 16 CFR 1500.265 et seq. These regulations were promulgated in 1972 (38 FR 27012, Sept. 27, 1973, as amended at 57 FR 28605, June 26, 1992) and do not reflect current operational reality. The proposed rule would replace the current regulations governing imports and contain a new part dedicated solely to import procedures. The new part would provide direction for the sampling, examination, and detention of products; the presentation of testimony and evidence by claimants to those products in order to resolve the detention; and the refusal of admission of those shipments that are not in compliance. The proposed regulations would provide for the conditional release of products under the Customs bond to bring them into compliance. The proposed regulations would introduce processes for asserting liens against future imports made by importers, owners, and consignees of noncompliant products that are destroyed at government expense. The new part would eliminate certain archaic references contained in the current regulations. Pursuant to section 14(g)(4) of the CPSA, the Commission may, by rule, provide for the electronic filing of certificates of conformity required by section 14(a)(1) and 14(a)(2) of the CPSA up to 24 hours before arrival of an imported product. Upon request, the manufacturer or private labeler issuing the certificate shall furnish a copy to the Commission and to the Commissioner of Customs. This rule would amend current part 1110 (related to issuing certificates of conformity) as it affects importers to require that the certificates be electronic and that they be filed at the time of entry. | |
