International Activities

Most consumer products under the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) jurisdiction are imported. CPSC established the Office of International Programs and Intergovernmental Affairs (EXIP) to provide a more comprehensive and coordinated effort in the international and federal area. EXIP coordinates CPSC's international and intergovernmental efforts with respect to consumer product safety standards development, harmonization efforts, inspection and enforcement coordination, consumer education, and information dissemination.
