FEMA in conjunction with CBP has updated the export process and added additional exemptions to the exporting of PPE from the United States of America that will be published in the Federal Register on April 21, 2020. This temporary rule (in effect until August 10, 2020) has not changed in that no shipments of covered materials may leave the United States without explicit approval by FEMA. The rule now calls out specific exemptions to the requirement that covered materials not leave the United States without explicit approval by FEMA. As previously reported on the rule, FEMA allows the export of covered materials from shipments made by or on behalf of US manufacturers with continuous export agreements with customers in other countries since at least January 1, 2020. So long as at least 80 percent of said manufacturer’s domestic production of such covered materials, on a per-item basis, was distributed in the United States in the preceding 12 months. The new rule by FEMA now lists out 10 exemptions that permit the export of PPE. Some of the exemptions will require a letter from the exporter (USPPI) addressed to FEMA and sent to CBP via the Document Imaging System (DIS) and some exemptions do not require the letter.
