Most consumer products under the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) jurisdiction are imported. International Programs are part of the Office of Education, Global Outreach, and Small Business Ombudsman (EXGO). One of the many functions of EXGO is to provide a comprehensive and coordinated effort in the Commission’s international affairs. EXGO 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.
