  This chapter shall not apply to any fabric, related material, or
product which is to be exported from the United States, if such
fabric, related material, or product, and any container in which it
is enclosed, bears a stamp or label stating that such fabric,
related material, or product is intended for export and such
fabric, related material, or product is in fact exported from the
United States; unless the Commission determines that exportation of
such fabric, related material, or product presents an unreasonable
risk of injury to persons residing within the United States; except
that this chapter shall apply to any fabric, related material, or
product manufactured for sale, offered for sale, or intended for
shipment to any installation of the United States located outside
of the United States.
(b) Imports intended for export; risk of injury to residents of
  United States
  This chapter shall not apply to any fabric, related material, or
product which is imported into the United States for dyeing,
finishing, other processing, or storage in bond, and export from
the United States, if such fabric, related material, or product,
and any container in which it is enclosed, bears a stamp or label
stating that such fabric, related material, or product is intended
for export, and such fabric, related material, or product is in
fact exported from the United States, unless the Commission
determines that exportation of such fabric, related material, or
product presents an unreasonable risk of injury to persons residing
within the United States; except that this chapter shall apply to
any such imported fabric, related material, or product manufactured
for sale, offered for sale, or intended for shipment to any
installation of the United States located outside of the United
States.
(c) Statement of exportation: filing period, information;
  notification of foreign country; petition for minimum filing
  period; good cause
  Not less than thirty days before any person exports to a foreign
country any fabric, related material, or product that fails to
conform to an applicable flammability standard or regulation in
effect under this chapter, such person shall file a statement with
the Commission notifying the Commission of such exportation, and
the Commission, upon receipt of such statement, shall promptly
notify the government of such country of such exportation and of
the basis for such flammability standard or regulation. Any
statement filed with the Commission under the preceding sentence
shall specify the anticipated date of shipment of such fabric,
related material, or product, the country and port of destination
of such fabric, related material, or product, and the quantity of
such fabric, related material, or product that will be exported,
and shall contain such other information as the Commission may by
regulation require. Upon petition filed with the Commission by any
person required to file a statement under this subsection
respecting an exportation, the Commission may, for good cause
shown, exempt such person from the requirement of this subsection
that such a statement be filed no less than thirty days before the
date of the exportation, except that in no case shall the
Commission permit such a statement to be filed later than the tenth
day before such date.
(d) Authority to prohibit exports
  Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the Consumer
Product Safety Commission may prohibit, by order, a person from
exporting from the United States for purpose of sale any fabric or
related material that the Commission determines is not in
conformity with an applicable standard or rule under this chapter,
unless the importing country has notified the Commission that such
country accepts the importation of such fabric or related material,
provided that if the importing country has not so notified the
Commission within 30 days after the Commission has provided notice
to the importing country of the impending shipment, the Commission
may take such action as is appropriate with respect to the
disposition of the fabric or related material under the
circumstances.
