FEMA: Export Controls Covering PPE

FEMA: Export Controls Covering PPE Related to COVID-19


Please see the temporary final rule of a coming FEMA Federal Register notification on "Prioritization of Allocation of Certain Scare or Threatened Health & Medical Resource for Domestic Use" that will be published this Friday, April 10th and will be open for public comments at that date.

The notice covers certain medical equipment needed to combat COVID-19 that cannot be exported from the U.S. without the explicit approval of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)- Effective April 10th through mid-August.  Under the rule, no shipments of designated materials (certain facepiece respirators, air-purifying respirators and filters, personal protective equipment masks and gloves - full list of items begins on page 8 of the pdf) may leave the U.S without approval by FEMA. This means that before any shipments of the stated materials export from the U.S., Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will temporarily detain them while FEMA will determine whether to return for domestic use, issue a rated order for, or allow the export of part or all of the shipment under section 101(a) of the [Defense Production Act], 50 U.S.C. 4511(a).

Here is the unpublished pdf version of what will be published on Friday, April 10th.

Public comments will be posted here.
