FDA Proposes Rule To Hold Foreign Tobacco Manufacturers Accountable

India, June 29 -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a proposed rule that, if finalized, would help strengthen the agency's ability to efficiently identify illegal foreign tobacco products - including youth-appealing e-cigarettes - and conduct on-site inspections abroad.

Domestic tobacco product manufacturers are currently required under federal law to register their establishments and list their products with the FDA. In contrast, foreign tobacco product manufacturers are not subject to these requirements unless and until the FDA mandates their registration and product listing through regulation.
