Do exported cosmetics have to comply with the FD&C Act and FPLA?
Other countries' laws are different from ours, and there may be situations when a product for export does not comply with the FD&C Act or Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA). A product intended for export will not be considered adulterated or misbranded under the FD&C Act (Section 801(e); U.S. Code, Title 21, sec. 381(e)) if it--meets the specifications of the foreign purchaser, is not in conflict with the laws of the country to which it is intended for export, is labeled on the outside of the shipping package that it is intended for export, and is not sold or offered for sale in domestic commerce. However, cosmetic products sold or offered for sale in domestic commerce must comply with all applicable provisions of the FD&C Act, the FPLA, and any other related laws, as well as the regulations established under authority of these laws.
