Miscellaneous International Trade Notices

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has updated its brief summary of Section 232 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 on all-terrain vehicles. The CPSC notes that as of April 13, 2009, it will be unlawful for an ATV manufacturer or distributor to import into or distribute in commerce in the U.S. any new assembled or unassembled ATV, unless the ATV is subject to an Action Plan on file with the CPSC and the manufacturer/distributor complies with all provisions of the Action Plan (as well as all provisions of the ANSI/SVIA 1-2007 standard for ATVs).
