Search 15 U.S.C. § 2067 : US Code - Section 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.
